CANTO GLOBAL

Voices in echo
renegades in confusion
sheer infantile adrenalin
imagined noises
in cries of happiness
tables of hardship
starving giants
apex of abundance
in the axis of poverty

Nous with prohibited secrets.
insolence with out diagnosis
predators in costumes of nutrition

Blessed bravado upon the waters
minuscule fires
keep alive
the flame of sanity.

Hope for the future
has been hypnotized
with electronic witchcraft
raucous grey magic
wet with diabolical delights.

Chairs of imprudence
human cackling
in the cave of relevance.

Keys of covetousness
sugar of impotence
respiration of desperation
inside the hologram of prosperity

Frivolous narcotic
scornful adolescence
unforgiving license

Smile of perdition
aborted connections
heavenly bodies deciphered
philosophical insects
in the triumph of contemplation

Dagger of apathy
in the lungs of planet earth
nail of death
in the sea of nausea
evil eye
floating in the latrine

Long live the love of your forgiveness
invocations of silence
we are ill
with plastic commotions

Subtle modernism of yesterday
You are not modern anymore
thirst for victory
glances of confusion
felt like correctness
in phlegmatic appearances

Prophecies of self control
embrace me
we all are dying
in the lagoon
of arrogant proverbs
on the tightrope of existence
our innocence slipped away
in the swamp of the ridiculous

Codified stench
Persecutions of ancestors
toil of resurrection.
