come near
witness the birth of
the new Right
the new Good
the new Morality
the brightly colored prism
of a new reality
a new judgementalism
fearful of debate
afraid of
the disagreeable
Proclaimers of reason
doubters of dissidence
A new society
formed in ideal looking forward
forgetting the past
looking on it with the regret of a long
night and wobbly morning
Once again
drunk on the idea of a new way
filling up
chugging and chugging
the rhetoric of a confused
pantheistic
athiestic
but deeply religious society
worshipping many more idols
than the Athenians at Mars Hill
Philosophers
Epicureans
Stoics
Endlessly streaming consciousness in public forums
spewing thoughts on each other
until something sticks
This new era is perfect in its own way
moving together as one
gaining momentum
like the Facists in the 30's
we are swept off our feet
by the inherit rightness of our leaders words
Impressed by the prosperity of our minds
blown away by our potential
always thinking forward
never dwelling on any moment for
very long
This new society has a strong hand
which sweeps swiftly
removing the inharmonious chorus
trimming and pruning
with impunity
unsure of what we are creating
but striving for it
For the ultimate end
for that perfect sunset
for that long night
for that wobbly morning
and for the long nap and medicine that follows
A perfect people
standing on the imperfect lattice
of old
While the vine of a new morality continues to creep
twisting and branching
like wild ivy
unsure of where it started
covering up
what doesn't belong.
