THE EMPTYING OF THE MIND

Incommensurate power drain,

suction cup tithe severance,

echoing obstacle conversion,

to support driven germination,

chronic insignia of insurgency,

dividing the promulgation of

persuasive aftermaths,

to the dictation of their inference,

abducted reason invoking explananda,

from the artifice of learning,

pulses the parody of intelligibility,

an era where obscurity is welcome as incidence,

of a culture we must sift through endlessly,

drowning in information,

while starving without wisdom,

surviving the fame,

denouncing the game,

our heros are all coopted by collective delusion,

the only hope is we can wait and govern chance,

with self concern, concerting the obliteration,

of their cold pantomimes,

drawing characteristics,

from the well of semantic dissuasion,

that apportions the admixture of whim and abandoned caprice,

wisdom parsed from the instant of diversifying choice,

in the emptying of the mind.
