Welcome to the Agglomeration
Howeverwhichway the Wind Blows
The telltale signs lie in the detail,
not the outward smile, not the fashioned hair,
but the twitch of the ring finger when
she sways and spins.
No amount of bureaucracy can contain
those intricacies. Undecipherable anthills
over which the whole world runs,
giant corporations and sickly politics.
We are the leviathan, we are the ones.
Trample the sweet grass and lemon dew
and crush those brave blackhearts who dare
to stand and fight for grains of dead flesh.
How could it be any worse than this?
It's simple. Condensed blood
sweet to the lips of flux, and its master,
the dark caped figure with the bald sphere.
The wheel turns.
A better wheel turns.
And when there is reprieve --
What reprieve?
The survivors cling to their mountaintops,
the lost loves are swallowed by the axes.
Extra mint, extra honey, extra quick.
Bring on sophisciated technology
for the advancement
and betterment
of society
and
humankind.
Howeverwhichway our streamlining, purifying and freshly industralised air pushes you.
Till next time, may you agglomerate all your unpremeditated contemplations.

Epic this is truly eric. Makes me want to stab nationalists with spiky flagpoles. Or at least hug random plants.
Eric. This is a good poem I like the allusion to the saying "where ever the wind takes you" and the way in which the ever increasing pressure by society to re innovate to improve technology as people become more self gratifying and instantaneous gratification becomes more and more apart of the expectations of society. However you make the poignant comment that because of this demand for new technology and the competitiveness of industries and the need to be the first to create the next 'wonder toy' no-one is stopping to look at the effects of their production as if they do others will spring up and take over in this 'race'. Obviously one of the results of this is the deterioration of the environment.
