Ethereal
By R. Cary
To light, can’t be touched, fragile in creation
Always exposed to crafted obedience moulded
To another’s will; thoughts not our own in beaten
Ego’s lashed to insignificance, the hand is raised
With fists of disdain and fury, how humanity have
Fallen in destructed hatred shattering crystal seen
In a human’s eyes negating creation for corrosive
Mutiny weakness as the cause taking pounds of
Flesh when will will not bend, higher the hand lifts
Brittleness is betrayed as vulnerability weakened
Hairlines of fractures webbed a vase rattles in fear;
The hour has struck, frailty is felt as broken loss in
Humanity of determined hate, the moment inspiring
Embodied resistance will hold knowing in cracking
Fatigue defending screeches of clawed disdain will
Incur a fate against human cohesion held in concert;
Harmonies glair as resin we hold together raising in
The world our own fists then another felt disobedience
As diamonds are pressured made of sand no more,
When cemented fractures urge forward knowledge
Of strength, experience gained using weakness
As perception to expose those who raise their
Hands striking below only the weak of their fellow
End
