Faces of the Wind

A helpless cynic begs the world around him to stop and examine itself. What has it come to? Humans are Chaos and their self-serving ideas shape their outlook and words which fly as fast as the wind. That is said which is unnecessary and misleading in ways which conceals its true intent. Behind the masks hide faces of shame, guilt, disgust, greed. In such a time, what becomes of us?

Chaos and fixations of chaos

Murmuring and howling

Spanning time, spanning land, spanning time

Present today, not tomorrow

Voices of chaos transform

They become the Wind and flee

Destinations they were conceived at

Stampeding through the skies

Many voices drown and dissolve

Into cloud shaped anarchies

Whispers face a mass extinction

The rain cries of disorder

Amongst the disharmony and conflict,

Perils rampant, discomfort utmost,

Shivering larynxes, trembling outcries,

Glee the faces of the wind

They lie, they cheat, they steal

Thieving leechers serving one master

Superior to all, indifferent to all

The Self

Whispers are reborn

Terrible mutations, them

Autonomy spliced out of their genes

Only remains the spirit of jest

Beware a cry is heard!

They come looking

“Who is it that seeks to sow

The seeds of control?”

To kidnap and butcher to an end of quiet

Wildebeests are harmless alone, not in herds

Tyranny triumphs

Alas, he is silenced

Such are the faces

Some with makeup

Some with masks

Ugly, hurt and hurtful faces

Faces with remorse

Rotten teeth shining through melted skin

Victims of the weapon of grief

Now the weapon themselves

Tearful eyes on these faces

A gleeful summer skin shed that stank of rust

Iron present in blood that is black

Tears just as black of distrust

Faces which smile, faces which sing

Forever the songs that should not be sung

Ill-omens, reminders of diseased times

Faces of decay

The winds still blow

Carrying the voices of chaos

Atop their breast and horns

Their face crimson in anger

Hatred in them desiccates

Perennial streams of thought

In which flow ideas of immortality of civilisation

Mankind now become rats

Learned helplessness or ignorance

What can you see on those faces?

For you are every bit chaos as I am

And the wind is an amalgam of our voices

Chaos and fixations of chaos

These ever-changing faces of the wind

Spanning time, spanning land, spanning time

Present today…
