It's just business.
When we lie to you
Steal from you
String you along
Waste your time
Demean your accomplishments
Insult you
Block your path
Close an open heart
Suck the joy out of life
Commodify everything
Peddle problems to solutions
Pave paradise
Put up a paid parking lot
Kick you to the curb
Leave you to rot
In the gutter...
It's nothing personal!
It's just business.
Capital Rational
Corax Rex
Tear of night in the blue sky
Noisemaker yowling all of its own
Glossy black omnipresence
Where the wind blows,
Corvus follows
Outside the realm of possibility
Or right outside your window.
Jeweled bleak mountain,
C r u m b l i n g drenched seashore
Baked desert of sand or of concrete
Always there, unheralded, uninvited
Croaking over the croaked.
Defeating - by not trying - best efforts
To dissuade, persecute, discourage, control
Biggest non-non-passerine
World's smartest dinosaur.
Far beyond adaptation
Cleave to me
From sea to spree
And you may quoth the Raven
Evermore.
Minus World
Without clutter, crowds, noise...
Overload
Without people
There is but emptiness, nothingness
An undwelt house,
A play missing its lead,
A universe minus focus
-So humanocentrists say.
Yet in tranquil stillness, bereft
Of destructive creation
And regressive progress
The question compels:
When does negative space
Become a positive?
