PASSIVE VARIATIONS



Life changes
Every moment breathes anew
Still it’s all the same
Same bone same sinew.

It’s the eyes that shift
The voices that adjust
The hearts still blackened
By the soot of mistrust.

The horizons bleed deceit
Bigotry’s exalted tones hushed
The fire burns to ashes
While ashes turn to dust.

Lip service endures endlessly
The ways of the world sustain
The covers keep changing
Yet the book forever reads the same…
