Nothing More

Nothing More



 


1.

 
Nothing more repugnant
 
than a man made of gold
 
who's slippery tongue and tower
 
of glass shades the world in
 
aspects of power that lasts
 
forever or so it would seem
 
as I lift spirits inward today
 
and tomorrow both never to
 
borrow of his files we spit and
 
we curse them till death do we stand.



2.

Nothing more gracious
 
than a man made of wood
 
who's hospitality and favor
 
for our well being asks but a
 
pittance to savor this life
 
as I rush toward the spiral
 
and cheer in his passions
 
so dear is the planning and sowing which
 
on solid built platforms never stops growing to
 
hold us together as one with his art.




3.

Nothing more hollow than
 
a man made of steam
 
who's sputtering and spurting
 
pushes empty promises forward
 
to another day flirting his flaws
 
in scattered echoes that
 
remind us how he was
 
such a bountiful ocean does
 
courageously, now evaporated
 
and shallow in all purpose.




4.

Nothing more timeless than
 
a man made of stone
 
who's cold stare at our mistakes
 
forgets his grieving muse and
 
what lays bare to his soul
 
should it cast a shadow on our
 
desire recites over time what
 
we knew would transpire with
 
then and learn from his wisdom
 
to become who we are.




5.

Nothing more stoic
 
than a man made of blood
 
who's hands are blistered from
 
toil for his family's well being
 
and never resisted any seeing or calling
 
to speak truth for it is his
 
power begins beyond any god
 
made by man who will rise
 
as the flesh holds all
 
precious contents within.





6.

Nothing more heinous
 
than a man made of lead
 
who's deceit with all living
 
gives uneasy decisions for
 
gain under orders and leaves
 
the mind queazy as he rains
 
down his harm to those who would
 
not hear his lies for the
 
thunder of empire he
 
gathers all our dust in trade.




7.

Nothing more balanced
 
than a man made of salt
 
whose firm ethics are moral
 
with whomever he waits with
 
no matter to consequences how great
 
as they are freely awarded to
 
him as he ponders what
 
next journey wonders hold
 
for all of our days
 
spent healing each other.
