Half-Truths and Whole Lies

The opening line requires the most finesse
If attracting attention
To a spectacle of dedication
Is the prevailing intent
The first words must contain sustenance
If meaning
Is to be gleaned
If dirt off the floor
Is meant to be cleaned
The sentiment must be as it seems
Sincere
Its conventional wisdom…
Its modern expressionism…
Using features of symbolic gestures
The creature has learned a language
He speaks it
And then writes it
On the walls of his cave
Dwelling in the shades
Of an empire of cliffs
A fire burns in the delicate mist
The sound bypasses the elegant drum
They shatter one by one
Oppositional defiance
A shutter severs the ties
The alliance is bound to rise
Fully realized
Exposed and demonized
Made to feel like kings
Once the throne has been compromised
After the peasants have revolted
Pegged nails in your crucified-
Eyes
History is the fortune teller
The present is a novelty
A best-seller
A fictional account
Of real life events
None of which amount
To make any sense
Forward past-tense
Lowered expectation
Of misread content
Misuse breeds neglect
Open seas infect
The land as it is laid to rest
The sand as it breathes its last salty breathe
The inference needs to be clear and concise
As the summation of the synopsis should be precisely precise
If breaking skin and wine was the intention of the night
Bones would be doubly nice
Inside feels alright
