The Eve of Destruction

You have no clarity won       else by delusion Lines of powder off  some     commode seat infusion Background noise no coping           madmen playing  Some dance of death and   black and white graying  Social contract broken daily     with the pen of a pretender Every standard turned on head      until war alone will render Absolution from responsibility         and death by fire

A dark prophecy yet a clear telling of why this might all come into being. World events seem to be taking us that way. I enjoyed the read.Your last stanza is astounding.

This poem feels, to me, exactly like the confusion and frustration in our world today. As though only through a calamity such as war will we be able to start with a clean slate. Thank you. I enjoyed very much.

Great word choice; if I'm not mistaken you've managed to write a profound poem about the new healthcare system - it's a powerful piece - infused with truth - I believe the destruction started when the plan was formed - blessings, Deni
