ZEITGEIST
In a world where
A sentence
Broken up
Into pieces
Is poetry
A splattering
Of colours
Across the canvas
Is art
Meaningful randoms
Make realities
The whole
Is just a tiny part
A tied up
Gagged
Rendering of the soul
Is love
A beat
With a catchphrase
Shouted aloud
Is music
Cacophonous chants
Create divinity
The loudest
Is the closest to God
An ending
Of all that
Kept one human
Is freedom
A shiny
Piece of nothingness
Amassed, cherished
Is wealth
A moment,
Unlived,
Captured with a click
Is truth
Made up lives
Unreal, imagined
A Hagiography
Is what eventually survives
