Colonial Barriers (December 23, 2018)

Why conformity

Needing to control

All facets of our lives?

As if

Being different

Punishable mortal sin.

Are we

So sidetracked

Selling our souls

For instant gratification?

Working ourselves

An early death

Denying life pleasures.

Monocultural society

Adverse to risk taking

At any level.

Death within.

Little corporate drones

Dress and thought

Interchangeable palate

Blandville galore.

Priding themselves

Elitist caste system

Of ethnicity/religion.

Not understanding

Why communities devolved

Warzones of racial hatred.

Where God is

A bullet fired

In ignorance/rage.

Nothing is sacred

Anymore.

Only sound

Weeping mothers collapsing

Into loved ones’ arms

Burying children.
