AUTUMN LEAVES

Upon the misty vail there rides

a splintered golden dream

where horses run and play

the wildest rarely seen

​

the truth of our existence

matters little to the rich

but to those of humble origin

it's upon the 'post' upon the 'hitch'

​

in olden days of cowboy towns

the swank lived in ranches bleu

while hillbillies lived in ramshackle shacks

but held on to truth as true

​

the dueling music of the time

as pretty as a newborn rhyme

or the trees along the Rhein

or ones' favorite valentine

​

the answers that we seek today

are no simple feat

but with peoples rising to unite

we'll ascend together, finally meet

​

                             by Park, Et. al.

upom the prairie winds there rides

oer' a thousand family trees

just as forrest floors become

Autumns' fallen leaves

​

in the future's past and present

dwells an ancient seed

to sow the best of all that is

to heal the wounds that bleed

​

one nations' call

a desperate cry

yet, not alone it dwells

for all countries mourne their dreams

 when other nations fail

​

a gilded age of gluttony

and the arrogance of "climb"

a corporitized monopoly

to hide their crimes behind

​

the four horseman have risen nigh

to have their final say

the apogee of greed for power

a blazing scream foretold of doom

​

power vacuums full of strife

rode the final waves

their crest a sojourned flight

trading plague for people's days

mere trinket-lining for their pockets

as scores of people died

​

along with death and destitution

as hungry children stand in lines

claiming 'fair' days for Faraday's warning

their legacy defined

​

Information Bombs

Poem by Mary Margaret Park

 

information 

tons of it

compression waves

spilling from our computer screens

A-bombs crowding

the mind’s horizon

origins

unknown

 

time slot stampede

marked and dated

obsolete upon arrival

 

the relevant

and the arcane

 

random and

specific

 

a vast 

weigh station

of data

 

a race for the latest

 

it’s eclipse

             knowledge
