Would that in an instance
We go through
A freeform meltdown
And the universe
Will begin to speak
The language of love
And that Fallouja
And Darfur will come around
To fighting
To end all kinds of wars?
But then again,
This freeform meltdown
Will delay the democratic discourse
Will not make us see the world
As it should be
This world beyond
Our own image
This world transcending
The phantoms of our chimera,
The ones we made for our own image
To claim history
The ones we created
To reclaim creation
To reclaim the power to renew the face
Of the earth, police the morals
Of the immoral universe
Unlike our own, in our own image
To renew
The power to declare
A freeform meltdown
Like the way we command the seas
To part, the rivers to become just
Stones so that the war machine could
Roll
On
&
Roar
On
Roll on and Roar on
Or the power to still the skies
To aim the target all right,
One target at a time and quick
One target at a time ad random
One target at a time to end the fighting
Dissension
Despair
Dread
Devotion to a cause other than our own
In a freeform meltdown
To erase all recollections and stories
Except our own
To close all the books
Except our own &
Speak the language of love
Speak the language of the heart
Speak the language of the soul
Speak the language of the mind
Speak the language of mind
Speak the language of man
Speak the language of peoples
Except
Except
Except our own.
Would that
We come to
a
freeform
meltdown
And our wishes will
Be
Fullfilled
Become
The Final Testament
To a duty done
With or without man
With or without love
With or without the dream
To renew man again and again
To renew woman again and again
To renew man-woman-man/woman-man-woman again
And again and again?
2.
Would that
In
An instance
We go through a freeform meltdown
And the world is many
And the world is one
And the world is many in the one
And the world is one in the many?
