Poem: Where The Willows Will Not Weep Written by: Alan Lisanti (2015)

Where The Willows Will Not Weep
Written by: Alan Lisanti (2015)
Website:  Misanthropic Poetry

The human herd reconvenes
Beneath the canopy
Of dead end dreams
All the while
Evaporation erases their humanity
And silence lives in the subtle shift
Of leaves as the wind picks up again
To shake stillness from the Earth
But not their hearts
Barren bones are just the vessel
For unvalued experience
They whispered words
In our presence
Like ventriloquist psychics
And we ignored the warning
And the lesson all the same
Such ease with which
It's all mistaken for granted
The soil walked on
Bulldozed and equalized
Wisdom dismissed
Ego indulged
The sobs below
In the cavernous underbelly
Subterranean slow death exposed
Clowns in clown shoes
Juggle chemical compounds
Kill for power
Conquer for control
It's human nature
To be the center of the universe
With life by a thread
And your neck through the rope
It's nature's nature
To observe the failure
Not to interfere

With the erosion of the soul
