Asymmetry

A barefoot child kisses a world of opportunity,

Creating a dynasty where

Success waits beyond translucent dreams.

To thrive he must gain inhibitions

In a world where wars devour innocence

And rules of decorum silence

The screams of disorder in an orderly world:

Where killing is orchestrated through agreed-upon opposition,

Where peace seems irretrievable

And any kiss could come from Judas.

We are grown up!

Solid in our shoes of social dysfunction,

Cowardly and cultured,

We bow to arrogant ambition:

A corrupt dictator

In a world where

Love has been lost to a violent amnesia

And our hearts have lost their symmetry.
