above, seductive sounds insulate the hastened steps
below, childhood rainbows reek of old lovers
here nature lures the unsuspecting and the ill gotten
as all the important things are remembered for a day
nearly imperceptible processions takes form
a cacophony emerges from the unnatural inundation
as all claim their turf and begin to circle
like a zamboni before the big game
a festive day after a mindless week of toil
mostly suspicious and poor
not yet tempted to kill for the privileged life
anxiously waiting the stolen promises
a fleeting cenotaph sprinkles the shifting sands
of flag-draped caskets and white crosses
each mourner carries their own terrorist thoughts
desperate to make sense of patriotism
the palpable smog and pollution idles
while the righteous hang onto hope
in order to breathe fresh air another sunny day
fearful that the escape is futile
hollywood disneyfies californian beaches
with freshness and freedom for all
nature and youth are taken for granted
now they are measured by those pornographic images
many seek understanding for their plight
more simply want to forget
in a land dying for democracy
a day of rest is fought on many shores
the kingdom has reached it’s pinnacle
yet nobody noticed yet
like the body, ignoring the early signs
long enough for the brain to announce death
