Out of Mind

We are a human state
consumed with downward paths
and sloughing off excess.
As rivers to the sea...
As carrion...
As food consumed...
As waste discharged...
But then reborn
And to the end made new again
To feed posterity.
Then as by choice we fuel a new discharge
of isms... fetid, putrid death.
Those partisans of age and sex,
of race and military zeal
Those super patriots,
Those little gods of faith
conceived from little minds
and to the end released
To fill the bowels of Hell.
