Cracked mirrors break the sun where cobwebs ride Upon the haunted concentration of Soul lines; the poet's breath caught and pressed tight Between ink and dust. New rhymes spill out from modern sages. Words crucified by clay fired mentalities Find Heaven's pages closed. Their sight lost to the rhymes of beat thieves. Poet in a dark room turn on the light! Gather up summer warm with a new seed, Write until your ink spills into flowers Shooting up through the weeds. Set the broken mirrors with your fires burning, Slay the beat thieves with words turning Life into seasons to be lived in peace not war, Into seasons of love not hate... Into an age of goodness unforced! · · · · · ·
