Flight Suspended

a poem by Joshua Brown

 

 

Your fearful contraction

And consumer inaction

Brought nation to heel

With jet melted steel.

 

Terror infusion

With selfish confusion

By the choices you made

In your houses you stayed

 

Eating and dancing

With unicorns prancing

And masks cover sins

With criminal wins

 

Empty cars

Empty trains

Empty churches

And planes.

 

Soaring to Mars

Instead of to Heaven

Myth-broken will

Seven, seven, seven.

 

Escape from the cave

And the shadows and walls

Escape from the wind

And God's soft quiet call

 

A roadtrip to wild beasts

Uncaged by mans pow'r

Reality confused

By Babel's new tower.

 

Segregate, children

Into groups; into factions

Broken curiosity

Retreat into bastions

 

Walled little gardens

Of temporal delights

Bricks to cast lightly

In the digital fights.
