Clear And Present

Post by audiofool » Wed Jan 10, 2018 8:39 pm

Oral origami
words take shape
twisted by eyes
that refuse to see

irony is lost
on this generation
speak directly:
change or doom

towers fall
fires ignite
heroes are crooks
angels demon spawned

open the books
break the seals
who is worthy
for such a task

to pour out
judgment and indignation
to save and heal
at the appointed time?

speak to us
smooth things
reassure us
that all is well

babble the rabble
confusion of tongues
the muted voice
of reason speaks

make straight paths
for his feet
wake out of slumber
at this late hour

do not let him
catch you asleep
guard the door
the thief is waiting.

Thank you, heinzs, soular, and Moushka. :hello:

Sorry, I'm slow to respond. Springtime offers many distractions!

Me likes.
Lots of layers.
I'm taken from the outset by "oral origami," which sets the scene.
