living in a world i never ordered

by Robert Filos / December 23rd, 2018

so green the young thoughts
when innocence is fading
sunrisings took for granted
til midday calls darkening
wavy lines yellowing
dripping off the page
be creative whispers
soft and comforting
yet to wake up now
to the screaming
where coloring dries
and outside the lines
the early mantra
diversified as
the right-hand high
now the progressives’ crime
