Blazing Trails

The ultimate human tragedy,
Our everlasting inability,
To translate, as a whole,
Those virtues that define our greatest trailblazers,
Opting instead,
For Machiavellian smokescreens,
Smoke and mirrors,
Worthy of a magic show in Vegas,
The city of sin,
A fitting tribute don’t you think?
A marvel of excess,
Perilous,
The way we treat our fellows,
Dubious,
The way we laud ourselves,
Praise our so-called success,
So called,
Because of the Pyrrhic nature,
Of our progress,
The gap between rich and poor,
Growing faster than ever before,
Yet we can put a robot on Mars,
Millions behind bars,
And millions more in a socio economic Alcatraz,
Our endless thirst,
For comfort,
Though knowing its cost,
Helps to reveal our lack of cause,
Or principled growth,
Not profit, or principalities,
We need power,
In fact, to empower,
All with in our grasp,
And yet we don’t,
For no good reason,
So its open season,
On the down trodden and the poor –

What is I don’t want to live in a world like this anymore Alex?

Auditions

Another day,
Another audition,
Waking up,
Forcing yourself from bed,
Tired from a busy day before,
Up,
Rise and shine,
Poke and primp,
Then out the door,
Hurry, hurry,
Will we make it on time,
Close,
Another audition,
McDonald’s S.O.C.,
What do you think,
Because I’m lovin it,
Monday morning,
Chill in the air,
Winters last stand,
But we don’t care,
Its audition day,
And we’re lovin it.

Good luck with your audition tomorrow babe!
