The beauty in destruction
The many forms of 
 destruction 
 are found in the
 padded tips of
 your fingers-
 understood
 lightly from
 the tainted
 retina. Ignorance is 
 the seed that thrives
 and
 grips the
 truth; eating
 up Mother Nature 
 -vines.
 
 The many forms of
 destruction drop
 from the
 tongue 
 of a young 
 boy. Brink
 of manhood,
 testosterone asserted.
 He peels the petals
 of an
 intoxicated rose;
 hardly worried whether
 “She loves me
 She loves me not”
 
 The many forms of 
 destruction 
 are conceived 
 in the 
 white
 supremacy
 childhood nursery
 rhythms.
 Young sponges,
 stuffed with 
 an unspoken drive 
 to fight all forms 
 of love,
 the spectrum of skin 
 shades-
 All under Almighty 
 Fathers rule.
 
 The many forms of
 destruction 
 are painted 
 in exquisite 
 clothing,
 drinking air 
 And puking sanity. The 
 dependence we have 
 on looks
 -heaven forbid 
 we judge hearts.
 Over indulgence 
 in the dark arts.
 
 The many forms of 
 destruction 
 can be silent.
 An acid rainstorm
 of thoughts,
 evaporating 
 from the media
 Burning - burning -burning.
 Matches supplied 
 from peers,
 pressure
 and parents.
 The bomb is ticking
 until
 the gun
 whispers,
 “Do you care now
 that deforestation 
 has occurred,
 Purity reaped.”
 
 The many forms of 
 destruction 
 cry and moan 
 from the gassed 
 children 
 and starving 
 mothers.
 Our Virgin bleeds
 tears of blood,
 while families 
 are buried
 in heaps of power
 control.
 
 The many forms of 
 destruction 
 may be large 
 And small.
 -heartbreak
 grays the soul.
 -massacre of the
 Innocent. Innocent? 
 A term coined 
 for a life taken;
 Who could have 
 beat the 
 faithful wife
 and shafts 
 the new born into 
 Reality.
 
 The beauty of destruction 
 is the 
 fountain constructed
 -realization.
 Understanding faults
 And fixing 
 your own,
 stopping a death,
 fighting for a cause,
 refraining a comment,
 seeking an ear (listening).
 Ying and Yang, will 
 keep evil prevalent, but 
 the light should not 
 be…so…dim.
