A Leaf of Discovery.

by

by Benjamin White.

Despair wanders and stumbles
Into Truth
With proof challenging
The given,
The taken,
And the acceptable
While changing certainty
Into a leaf falling
Saddened by
The circumstance of seasons
When chance analyzes
The reasons why
Honesty has chosen
To distance itself
From the face
And facts
Of reality
As a paradox
Of partiality covers
The space
Down to the ground
In precalculated
Half measures
Where bare branches
Try to break the fall
While the force flutters
Through the multiplied layers
Of air
To crash
And crater
The weightlessness
Waiting with a soft
Explosion of doubt

Condemned to Relive.

by

by Benjamin White. The nation is built on false narratives Orchestrated by the unquestioned facts Operating on the poor reflections Manipulated by historical Understandings of the benevolence Created by the projected image Hollowing out the scene of honesty Fabricating the nostalgic comfort Of time and place that never existed – Remembered in the longing for […]

Power Gratifies Itself.

by

by Benjamin White. It appears History is irrelevant When memory stretches All the way back To a few minutes ago, Forgetting and overlooking The cause and effect Of important events And situations As reactions And responses Operate in a void Where power Gratifies itself

Ocean Diplomacy.

by

by Benjamin White. The national news will report On US-China relations And both nations are tainted Painted by politics and policies, But on the high seas Ships sail to places distant, And freedom Is consistent with the waves, The sea gulls, and the hulls Of boats making way, And even when the Coast Guard flag […]
