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
