Every Snooze Button

capsize the steady earth ship

with the ready terse quip

placed in just the right spot

left to grow where others cannot

in the infertile hearts

of the endless disgruntled

who bundle for warmth

inspired by fear

perpetually perplexed

by the here, the now

the need to bow to any master

for many years after the initial surrender

the habitual pretender still knows not

of "all for naught"

all the more caught and left denying dying or dead

in woe's wretched web

in causality’s co-conspiratorial conundrum

but then someone wakes up

then someone shakes up

this sick

sleepy world
