Cosmic Dust

Michael Marchese

By Michael Brandon MarchesePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Only human after all

I just want to be heard

By more than inner-monologuing

With existences absurd

I’m just desire courting madness

Pleasure-seeking silly monkey

Easy-speaking vow of silence

Honor-bound to keep it funky

Just a diplomat pragmatic

In conventional futility

The all-consuming ego

In the shadow of humility

Your typical contrarian

Ideal egalitarian

Developing a taste for

Arts and state crafting agrarian

Utopian dimensions building

Bridges into space

Enslaving stars to do my bidding

As the angels fall from grace

I am the single, greatest mystery

Nature herself can not explain

Instinctively returning to

The origins we tame

We are sophisticated, liberated

Envoys of the unifier

Common all denominations

Gifted with the wild fire

Meant to be intentional

Deliberate in simplicity

Complexity compels us to

Explore beyond infinity

To seize the energy within

Without the answers dying for

Remembrance, what we leave behind

Unruly gods of peace and war
