BLITZ  form of poetry

 

Eyes are Replaced

 

Look for it in the mouth

Look in the eyes

Eyes grim

Eyes hard

Hard as stone

Hard as apathy

Apathy pervades

Apathy destroys

Destroys lives

Destroys planet

Planet diseased

Planet crying

Crying please

Crying stop

Stop selling

Stop killing

Killing life

Killing hope

Hope wanes

Hope dies

Dies needlessly

Dies desperately

Desperately pleading

Desperately reaching

Reaching for souls

Reaching for light

Light to burn

Light to vanquish

Vanquish trademarks

Vanquish materialism

Materialism that excuses

Materialism that controls

Controls wants

Controls desires

Desires extinguish love

Desires breed discontent

Discontent needs satisfaction

Discontent breeds false prophets

Prophets build idols

Prophets build doctrine

Doctrine sets standards

Doctrine punishes

Punishes uniqueness

Punishes sincerity

Sincerity vanquished

Sincerity replaced

Replaced by trademarks

Replaced by hard eyes

Hard eyes

Trademarks
