Dark Matter
they say this all started
with a great big bang
fire and rain
yin and the yang
millenia passed
and left plenty of clues
like how we crawled out
of some primordial ooze
we’ve come so far
to get to where we are
as we take another lap
around this old star
where are going?
will we ever arrive?
gravity bound
to live and die
still we fight
for border control
incivility takes a terrible toll
hate for hate’s sake
how much more can we take
religious divisions
deep and dark
and the rising tyranny
of the oligarch
are we dumb as a box
of asteroid rocks
after eons of years
dark matter appears
much of it lies
between two human ears
blind-sided
will we ever find
a way around
the dark matter found
in a dangerous mind
