Scattered Entropy Poem by Chloe Lubinska

A catastrophic beam, designed to wake
A depleted jewel, secluded for heaven's lake
Opposing minds contemplate limits
Achieve obscure insights and broken minutes
Is it so well, that we all tend to dwell:
On an empty void that captures our squint?
Ethereal smog seems to seal the matter
As soles are dyed red, glass gratifies the shatter

Sprinting through caustic vents will not get you far
Pursuing goals
Is glancing south for the North Star
Desolated souls encore deceit
A lathered echo of splintering wishbones
Guarantee a song for those of worship
As abstract symbols orderly retreat
Into the putrid heart of mankind's earth
For whatever that is

Reincarnated, something anew
A shock, a vein confronting naught but resistance
Evoking entities, both of lust and of power halo a cue
Diverging views and favoured acceptance
Shallow conversing fuel the bubble
The bubble of our world, only un-accounting for shores
An eternal band of profound blue
Ceased a bible for the living but rather the dead:
Our timid feet shoved into untied shoes
Array! Actions speak more than what has been said
We're an audience to dissonance,
Floating feathers coated in lead

Provoked from the ash arose a scorched child
Manifesting with limbs, with hands gasping a frost
The blackened sheath of remorse cohered
Into a blanket of crippled dry snow for us to hear
The concepts of laughter, joy, and might
What a scandal our faith imitates
For that concept is too benign,
Screams and fear had made the better knife
The bitter light so sincere,
One's fantasies rotting, and gutted with no life.
