 * DARK AGE *

~ A free verse poem by Russ Allison Loar ~

Can I do anything with a word when the world is sparking 
through wires and cables and atmosphere crackling on screens 
drawing current from electrochemical Homo sapiens?

Can I do anything with a word when the chemicals come so easy 
and hit so hard and run so fast and shoot so high and last so long?

Can I do anything with a word when art is for intellectuals 
and commoners are jettisoned to their easy pulp?

Can I find a word that will cut through meanness 
and shame power lust and inspire the meek 
and disable the unjust and pull the disguise off everyday life?

What can I do when I am tortured by the mind 
and bleeding from the heart and enslaved by the logical 
and brainwashed by the desirable and distracted by discourse 
and people are dying in droves and killing is a political option 
and this is the real world and Jesus has already come and gone 
and the kind-hearted are cheated and the vicious are prosperous 
and I am honest by accident and duplicitous by nature 
and into the night I lie awake searching for a word?
