no summons
unsettling stasis
sowing seeds of uncertainty
thrives on abrupt rearrangement of unwitting life

Self-satisfied citizenry

Crossing the shadows
Dragons cast upon moonlit grounds
Where not even magic of wizards can rescue you
Fibonacci 11
Purge
From
Your veins
Infectious
Hedonist microbes
Before they consume a new soul
Inflicting the pain of pleasure and lost compassion
Leaving a humanoid husk of intractable selfishness, courting catastrophe
Fibonacci 12
Cut
Swaths
Bravely
Through jungles
Dark with ignorance
Overgrown with choking tendrils
That bind up the intellect, stunting development
Of mechanisms for perfecting mind, body and soul of the whole human being,
Reducing mankind to a race of idiot drones, unable to fend for themselves beyond filling bellies from accidental harvests

One’s darkest
Irrational fears
Works the engine of self-loathing
That transmogrifies men into merciless tyrants

If morality was instilled
During boyhood years of character development
Requiring a family environment that incubates genuine integrity
Fibonacci 7
Phi

The golden
Number that conveys
The mystical Golden Ratio
Fundamental to an aesthetic geometry
That gives pleasing comprehension of the arts and cues the abstract beauty of nature
