Octopus

Octopus

Octopus.
Growing.
Spreading.
Tentacles
expanding.
Prey
in the
grip.
Unsuspecting.
Power.
Control.
Name
of the
game.
Tentacles
grip, circles
the globe.
Growing
power,
influence
over its
prey.
Too late,
powers
that be
now
firmly
control.
Now
running
the show.
Ultimate
power
control
justifies
the means.
In front
of our
eyes
the creature
morphs.
Tight
in its
grip.
Ultimate
control.

The world is a corrupt shit pit John but what dismays me most is that we, the people, are responsible for allowing it πŸ˜”πŸ˜”Β

In unending ways we still gather
Still make the attempt to unite
The things that divide us...

You and I

Love pouring out like thick golden sun
The gleam of bronze hair under a blue sky
