The Road Of Good Intentions

along the road to perdition

pharisees
make pilgrimage
to holy lands

with the pretense
of protecting the peacock
(most flamboyant bird)

past paddocks
and cool placid waters

pickets of peasants
sweating slaving
harvesting wheat for the taxman
in the oppressive heat of summer

industrious pollen laden bees
visit flowers of yellow and pink
working diligently in parallel

hypocrites
bumpkins and drones
each outside
perception of the others
subconsciously
toil together

devising
universal truths
cosmic paradigms
and tragic comedies
