Dominos, by Brian37
Dominos, By Brian37
Elaborate
To say the least
Convoluted
Is their best
They rape entropy
And Second Law
Trying to adapt it
To their flaws
They want you focused
On the ornate
On their creativity
Doomed to fail
I refuse
To play their game
Of yellow brick roads
Or kiss their frog
There is no prince
In absurdity
Brains with no body
Are fantasy
Hijacking buzzwords
Does not fool me
Their vacuous starting point
Is what I see
Like dominos
Their arguments fall
The emperor's cloths
Transparent to all
With fervor they shout
With doomed passion
Scrutiny their enemy
Leaves them in tatters
Their invisible friend
Is not on a table
In a lab
To be dissected
Their invisible friend
Lacks atomic weight
Or location
Or measurement
The explination
That is real
And least complicated
Is their imagination
Don't worry Ochamm
About corrupting me
There is no pyre
For us to dwell
Just hollow threats
And hedging bad bets
On invisible horses
In a fictional race
Their derby of deities
In their triple crown
Their horses all dominos
Wont leave the gate
They run to their bookies
Slapping cash on the counter
Betting on "Utopia"
With their god as the rider
Black and white dots
They prop up with glee
Only to be toppled
By reality
Then they get violent
From indignity
Demanding respect
For what no one can see
A horse named "Nowhere"
Is in every gate
Explains the bookie
A sure thing to empty your wallet
"We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus -- and nonbelievers."Obama
