Hegemony

Have you ever hoped for

luxuriant rivers, that invoke

Unbounded joys in a

Diversity of tribes

Exuberant faces, diamond smiles;

But only

of incy-mincy children, from ebony and caramel gold to ivory? 

The blood that runs young 

and strong 

are contorted in, fishy faces 

flashing smiles of farce-ness. The workforce, a lulled 

contraction of voluntary misery. 

Oh but the, 

Ornamented facades, artfully 

seize a cryptic harmony 

In melancholy, 

these buildings raise spirits, reasonably exquisitely 

carved. Ethereal, heavenly 

abodes in the Mediterranean October sunshine. 

Avenues galore.

A single look deeply. 

One discovers the resulting

effects of prolonged inter-breeding

as diseased as those 

unwanted genes

Xenophobia, 

wastelands of anoxia. Burgeoning 

with accumulated toxicity. 

A single foreign element. 

Undersized and unapologetic. 

Initially, reportedly, 

meek and submissively 

dispositioned. 

Finding 

itself amidst the maze of total and complete horse-shit. Daring 

to make a scratch on the surface, 

peeking. It reveals its sickening bureaucracy. 

Omnipresent, from the sciences of education to the arts of travelling and the business of making friends. 

The cracking 

fissures visible. Bursting! 

Top-down. 

Tumble-down. 

Shattering, 

like a castle of murky 

glass. Walking, 

footsteps crunching 

the foreign element, bleeds 

contentedly.

A single consequence.

Where does the overflowing 

river from a thunderstorm go? It floods it’s banks, descending, 

uproariously. 

Annihilating all in its path. 

Enlivening its environment refreshing its surroundings. 

Calmed only by the nourishing sea.
