about bouts

by Roberto Lavidez

plagued

by headaches

and bouts

of vomiting

humans

can teach

the gods

something

about humanity

its peculiar

combination of

duplicity and

vagueness

its various

hues which

could indulge

internecine

squabbles

its abhorrence

of disorderly

self-indulgence

becoming

the sun

in ones’s own

solar system

man creates

a scandal of

monumental

proportions

seeking

with all its might

for a higher self

he falls into

radically altered

power configuration

down the

black hole

of polemical

oversimplification

the clamorous

proponents of the

common man

allows the

ideologue

to subsume

any means

to a single end

losing battle

through a handful

of avoidable errors

deflating human

aspirations

intimately involved

in the establishment

of human authenticity

dousing the fire

in the bellies of

extremists and

Nietzschean

cold sarcasm

against beautiful

sentiments

grinding to a halt

a chain of events

set in motion

its so called

objective ways

of understanding

blurry

arbitrary

and tempting to

gods

engineering

human souls
