" INVISIBLE POWER "

There are a vast number
Of intricate possibilities
Invading my cranium,
A moving vision
Of volatile, destructive, perceptions
And dying geraniums,
Like a temple garden
Of elusive blooming ideas
And absurdities,
Creating fluidity inside of me
And a new-age thesaurus
Herding each word in me,
Explosions of images
And graphic new languages
Speaking nonsensically,
But making perfection
Of ruthless reflections
In memories and destiny's,
Coming to incongruous, conclusive opinions
Of atrocious abnormalities,
And irreverent sermons
From pretentious preachers
And the Vatican's priests and saints,
Who pray on the front steps
Of government buildings
And well planned restraints,
Tackling the issues
Of future events
And impossible predictions,
Itching to take their time
Losing and scratching
Their pre-determined convictions,
To really say nothing at all
But mostly,
Preparing us all
For that which will help them
Maintain,
And perpetually wield
INVISIBLE POWER,
And,
Predetermined,
Hallucinations...
