an original poem by Joshua Brown
Straight lines against the sands of time
Sunrise, against the craigy horizon, casts
Distinction between the will of man
And the patient creation of genes' climb
Black against blue the birds chime along
In morning hues, all nature wakes slow
A fresh chill wakes as fonts reach out
The brand, a call to women, a man's song
Tiny lights glitter, suspended in air
Unseen posts imposing the sky, two by two
Adaptive couples guard their localities
And call to me, miles away, to care.
Out to the west, infinity away, the skies
In brownish orange, and tired of expulsion
Unchallenged by biodiversity and danger
An artificial forest of never falling lies
Trees imposed to reduce the stark edge
Imposed over night by the consumer
In dream-like state of galactic flight
Healing heaven by eco-insurgent homage
Retreat, regroup, reform, advance
Each day, a fiery attack by sunlight rays
Feeding fake soldiers, photosynthetic spies
To wait for wind's command to dance
Terrorist sleeper cells of mitochondria
Dreaming nightmares of earth desolation
"Stop us not" the river sleep gurgles
In a world, dominated by men so free
The sun is up and so are we
But if we listen close
Hear, we can, conspiry,
Of deep revenge, by wind and tree.

Thanks for reading "A Song about Brenton Tarrant" which was written on the RTD 153 early on April 1, 2023. You should also check out my last poem "Shit Tests, Hypergamy, and the Virgin Mary" which is a reflection on the experience I had while doing private security protecting a disruptive inmate who was visiting the hospital from a local county jail. He was taking literal feces and throwing it at me while claiming he was a servant of God and that I was serving the Devil. He was very well versed in certain parts of the Bible, but clearly experiencing cognitive dissonance of some kind.
I'd appreciate it if you considered donating and even if you don't have money, maybe consider commenting down below, subscribing to my social platforms, or supporting the Pexels artists featured on each page.
