Cosmic Blackboard
Literary Poem
back
Either one loves or hates
no oath, pledge, nor vow as strong
nothing amidst survives
galaxy lesson universal
light or dark, large or small
hot or cold, on or off
morals and honor adrift.

Compromise plenteous inane
arbitrate useless pacts
mediate dead intellects
conference the unmalleable.

Either one severs or joins
no hand, sign nor promise as potent
nothing betwixt exists
sense the soul immortal
admire or loathe, cherish or scathe
adore or despise, abandon or adopt
wealth and ego marooned.

Counsel foes innumerable
salve sullied psyches
bandage broken bonds
calm caustic clamor.

Either one accepts or denies
no swearing, currying nor influence as decisive
nothing futile endures
our orb swirls regardless
song or drums, image or inkblot
decorous or splatter, dull or bright
stature and goals uninscribed.
