Kit Kelen #678 - all falls down (temple of Mammon)

678

all falls down

for Welcome to the Temple of Mammon

this could so easily all not be

it's as with any of us here

but something of scale impresses the fact

glitter in the smoglight

tea for my waking

as if a giant painted nails

now all of this could fall

the burst of gunfire imagines us

but we are only clone

safe in our make believe for now

neglect the ruins as they stand

so much cement and glass here

credulity's the key

this could so easily flame up, burn

like a spire

like a cross lit

if news chimes in from elsewhere

this just slows down the game

the gorgeous towers

could all so easily sink below

be plucked away

all lifted up

then guess which act of God

and always a higher number

you won't see wheels of juggernaut

won't see the wheels come off

but blink, it goes

I sing this here

am of the heavenly choir

so yoga slowly

never slow enough for this town

how blank of mind you'd have to be

to see forever in the stars

to gamble on this now

I walk away

won't you?
