Skeptic of the Present Tongues No. 10

In the current (more so a hark back to 1950's),
we have to become acclimated
to what is actual. The actual however,
is not what reality symbolically is.
Within the minds of those who think beyond
the mundane minds of those who speak
this crawling, à la mode language,
this language of nonfactual linear syllables,
but put forth as such antithesis,
it is reasonable to rectify imagination,
remedy lies by lying down illumination
of elucidating thought, complying with
the philosophy of epistemology attributed
to beatification.

Skeptic of the Present Tongues No. 11
 

Last night while listening to a language
of silence, obtained by tuning out turmoil,
created by carelessness and conmen called callous,
I came to the conclusion that stroked the atmospheric tones
resonating from the realization—
I would rather exist as part of avifauna,
floating above linguistic calamity,
focused then on relativity, relegated
to balancing among sun bathing,
a different brand of bravery
where heretofore called for concentration,
manmade rehabilitation, reinforcing the illuminated mindset,
feathers if employed against the skin,
would put forth my new form, new mindset
into a euphoric placement above the conmen
and linguistic calamities.

Too many of the current 'leaders'
analyze the citizens, disregarding
their own dispositional need for analytical
desire. Hence, the gap of absence between
pseudo-intellectual behavior and actual intellect
that has culminated among the citizens,
allowing the leaders to shrink in number
and pivotal prowess—which is easily detected
behind the shadows of deteriorating popular
culture, mirroring the voices of the analyzing,
philosophical angst.
