Maskquerade

Such a pretty mask
you display so proudly
for the right people to see..

The beauty of your façade
is it's not apparent readily
to those with limited views..

If only these deluded fools knew
the extremally flawed you
beneath your well crafted

public perception

Ode to Evolution

To all you nostalgia junkies

who reside

in the rose colored corridors

of flushed yesterdays..

The old ways

were not always

the best way...

In fact

they were replaced

and upgraded

for very good reasons

you seem

to have conveniently misplaced

The Devil and Me

The creepy man behind the counter

offered me an extended warranty of life..

This once in a lifetime offer gave me pause
cause I am a perpetually skeptical type..

I asked the smooth talking salesman
if I could see his binding fine print..

He produced a contract quite elegant..

Brilliant in it's eternal simplicity..

So I signed a blood oath

on the crooked line that was dotted..

Now I roll on my timeline soulless

but to me the tradeoff ain't so bad

cause it's hard to miss

what you never really had..

Audience Grooming

Imagine the interfacing possibilities
if we did NOT take
every perceived slight
so personally..

If complete
and unrestrained honesty
were the rule
rather than exception..

Then all of humanity
could conceivably communicate
unfiltered and unconditionally

Earthly Inheritance

The code we've struggled to break was finally cracked today as all the secrets contained spilled out all over the floor..

Now we are faced with a mess..

Loose truths impossible to digest..

Guess the world was better off before back when we were blessed

with glorious ignorance
