Repellent tidings

Nebulous vines
conspiring for the times
thorns splayed  
in  
vested  
stillness  
Lacerating the lives we render flawless
Motives lurking in the mire
trudging through lost desire
The fire we once tended
a  
soothing  
narration  
of grit
Now lost to the new millennia  
We’ve become the ashes of newfound perils
in barrels  
of  
mixed messages
Unsteady design
Engendered misalign
They comply  
Blindly
They elevate these sacred treasures
that measure
their depth of belonging
The spawning  
of  
new  
age  
distractions
Gaining traction with the naive
Believing the hype
unapologetic
and  
spirited
Destroying our foundation
with their repellent tidings
Corrupting the minds
of
our
children  
Creating soldiers of virtue
to search through
to find who
defames you
A new breed of wisdom
dreaming up new sins
to control the amble of the status quo
Collections of invalid sages
pronouncing their stance
romancing in filth
vested in labels
shortchanged  
and
waiting in line
to enlist  
in  
the  
perpetual  
victimhood  
of  
life
