Breadcrumbs

in #poetry6 years ago

Leaving hints and clues
from perspective views
along the path toward awakening.
Sang the blues
tethered to booze
the process of unfakening.

Lost a shoe
and a friend or two
doubtful voices quaking.
It's nothing new
just my own strange brew
a loaf of my own baking.

Piece by piece
left a dog-eared crease
for the next weary traveler.
Honking like geese
about the capitalist fleece
a reluctant recruited unraveler.

A purple glow
the truth starts to show
a messenger from the stars.
Sync with the flow
deliberate and slow
a lineage of brilliant quasars.

Seeds that we sow
will eventually grow
while the nihilists dream of Mars.
How far will we go?
Our egos in tow
disconnected heads in jars.

Keep peeling the layers
expose all the players
reckon the destruction at hand.
Inspire the naysayers
mentor adrift strayers
empowered to weave their strand.

Feeding the birds
a trail of words
I'll show you where I've been.
Gathering in herds
sounding like nerds
but do they know how to win?

A good place to start
align with your heart
deprogram inherited shame.
Honor your art
your own kind of smart
valuable regardless of fame.

As you become
leave us a crumb
standing on the shoulders of giants.
March to your drum
unafraid to look dumb
free at last in our defiance.

Come to the table
drop the label
begin by breaking some bread.
Willing and able
we'll build something stable
solidarity and abundance instead.
