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
