Fragmented World: August 2015 Poem by DM W

The garish glitter
Of fallen Modernity:
The old gods have fled.

Shadow plays of signs;
Alphabets of the absurd:
The light is fading.

Diamond studded skulls
& artificial roses:
Lines of angel dust.

Cool operators;
Gadgets for every season
Media dreaming.

Scarecrows & scapegoats:
The cold eyes of surveillance;
Widespread social compliance.

The double coding
Of constant advertising;
The death of symbols;

A harvest of stars
Over the collapsed centre:
Circus distractions.

A labyrinthine world:
That we can never access;
Only imagine.
