Nothing Left To Lose Poem by DM W

The garish glitter
Of fallen Modernity:
The old gods have fled.

Shadow plays of signs:
Alphabets of the absurd.
The light is fading

Diamond studded skulls
& artificial roses;
Lines of angel dust

Cool operators:
Gadgets for every season;
Media dreaming

Scarecrows & scapegoats
The cold eyes of surveillance:
Social compliance.

The double coding
Of constant advertising:
The death of symbols.

A harvest of stars
Over the collapsed centre:
Circus distractions.

A labyrinthine world
That we can never access:
Only imagine.
