Structural traces remain in words like froth
on the rim of opportunities lost
when the city built over the green land
of wilderness packaged literal shadows
of tomorrow's yin yang ideas
fought in the war over political prisoners
contesting methods for delivering more product
resources consumable and with disposable debt
given cardboard hamburger filler yet
When the dialectic of political evolution ignores
358 degrees of other directions
when observation sentences are supplanted
propositions of historical theories stitched
together
abstractions of loyal percentages
specialists arguing for truth-values in language
might have known if the light had been better
if empty continents without electronics
had the same political philosophy of right
as Venn diagrams of Eurasian states
alliances of social class kaleidoscopes
viewed objectively in existentialist percepts
rushed without adequate political philosophy
with declining resources, independence and truth
without moderating toward process utopia arranged
like apparitions of hope and change
With the guidance of Christ to endure
through the secular,
through rampant decay
a shining smoldering ruined civilization on a hill
transformed mass conformity
into egalitarianism of ashes
in entropy's stable state
become one answer to the puzzle of how
evolution continued in the loss of individualism
with reform of capitalism.
