{...darkness blooms...}

A Poem by Christopher Michael Smith
"

in these shadows...

"
Inanimate configuration,
Intact & docile,
Sipping delicate dogmas,
Dynamic depredations,
&
Quintessential malfunctions.

Telegenic hemispheres,
Incorporated by
Western refractions
&
So,
We slide,
Ever so gently.
Into the shadows.......

Negligible renegades,
Terrorist plays,
A new Shakespeare, with
Crescent moons
&
Crosses of doom.
Here,
In the shadows...

Layers upon layers, of
Trapped sediment,
Compact etiquette,
&
Preying loons.
Mazes of contemplation,
Inside and out,
Confusion
&
Defamation,
Spiraling down, to
Bottomless pits.
Always hungry, that
Viral little sore.
The more it consumes,
only craving for more.

In these shadows...

Pushing & pulling,
Gnashing teeth.
Unjust practices, of
The liars & thieves.
Secret societies,
Tucked just beneath.
Secret oaths,
&
Mantras,
Just for the sheep.
Devouring archeology, with
Flames & deceit.
To erase true history,
From directly beneath the feet.
Deleting the records,
A clean slate,
If you will.
In these shadows,
It's us vs. them.

Political Corporations,
&
the Media Elite of Propagation.
Making consumers purchase, consume & buy.
Masking truth with broadcasts & flashes,
Minds absorbing the message,
Subconsciously.
Whispers inside,
Inciting us to cry,
Buy,
&
Lie.
Just for the Hell of it.
Here,
In these shadows...

No security,
Only hope.

It consumes
&
Consumes.

In these shadows,
The darkness blooms...
