Words of a feather
TWP Tilden
What are words of promises against ideologies of push
in a face-off, toe-to-toe?
See there: how the ensconced bright and popular remonstrate!
Inundation of hashtags and whines!
While bold and devout counterparts, unconcerned with mass consumerism or
congeniality,
strategize, biding time.
See eager Afghans cling to the Sun vainly daring to piggyback on its course.
All the faith in Allah and human will cannot grip against its accelerated run.
They fall.
Undone.
Like so many before, and everafter, who flirt against gravity
with wings of broken words they fall
hurdling through air of promises, fear, regrets
to the ground of unforgiving reality.
