clash of rival wills

by Roberto Lavidez

nothing 

could be 

easier 

if one 

could do 

what one 

wishes

but things

are done

differently

these days

the mistake

irreversible

the clash of 

rival wills

determined

not to be

annoyed

by trifles

and tinkering

with tiny

mechanisms

reveal ways

that oppose

expectations

to pave the 

way toward

evolutionary

thinking

imagination

fails to create

a world of

inverted logic

in the eternal

language of

dancing eyes

which is

supposed to

cut through 

all difficulties

and put an end

to all doubts

casting aside

the growing

aimlessness

from a

somewhat

less informed

perspective

conspicuous

deeds failing

to follow words

appearing

to exist in

a different

universe

it would take

an unquenchable

curiosity and

a monomaniacal

sense of purpose

to compliment

all sorts

of things

or the world

would be

reduced to a

monotonous

blur

mankind

is only 

et cetera

its needless

waste of life

and shocking

cruelties

struggling

between

the shades

of night

and the

light of 

dawn
