2010 -- 3.1 (Fall) Poetry

Revolution

Showering colors of mimosa and lilac
Gained inspiration from the organic sativa
Under the chandelier blooms on a ligustrum tree,
Until a philanthropist came one day
And brought with him syphilis and semantics,
As well as gluttonous scarabs, juggernauts, and thimbles.
They even brought ergonomic capitalism,
But the conundrum of it all
Was their eternal destiny
Of flesh eating predictability,
Until one day a Rasta came with a Revolution of Sunshine.
