Analysis of Rays Of Light
Rays Of Light
Information contextual
never absolute
Naked in isolation
relative and moot
Inspiration celestial
gifted from the throne
Sending rays to light the dark
— truth to stand alone
(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)
One step
forward
two steps back
Look around
you
see the facts
Sky scraped
cities
health care gods
Obese
on drugs
gender fog
Ghetto
masters
children stoned
War
a plaything
religion owned
Information
but a mask
to hide us from the truth
DNA
and quantum theory
— kills the Golden Goose
(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)
No words into boxes
all Muses set free
Not quatrain or sonnet
or limerick for me
The feeling’s unleashing
the verse as decreed
Whose words birth inside me
— unspoken in dreams
(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)
They come to
me vacant
No plans
to deceive
In silence
they wait
My words
— to conceive
(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)
