Sugar

 The key to life,

Yet the key to death,

Sugar is anything and everything

Reimagined



Never is the scarcity of sugar the problem now,

But consistently,

Too

Much


Spiking up and down,

A battle between two titans

One of logic and wisdom

The other, temptation and greed


Elegant is logic,

With many names,

God, Heavenly Father, Holy Spirit

Denoting the purpose and triumph of nations

His law,

Forever weaving and resonating

Its rich melodies guarantee the next harvest

Forever serene and stoic

Blood spared, and wealth shared


On the other arena,

Lucifer himself lay with discontentment

His poignant melodies still reverberate

With Mongolia and Rome descanting his conquest

And countless others,

Despairing nations wept as he turned an exquisite oasis

Into the Saharans themselves


And every time,

Lucifer's secret weapon,

Sugar

Sneaks in, covertly eradicating logic

Sluggish, the body

Inevitably

Collapses


With irrationality being the law of judgment

Emotions elevate,

Checks and balances fail,

And a house divided falls upon itself

Every

-Single

--Time


Forever has the culprit been misperceived,

Systems always prepare for too little

But never

Too

Much


Bibles sang, 

its cape with success and glory,

But was never heard

Once, with the sly sugar drowning out

Everything.


Context

Humans are intrinsically greedy. That is our safety mechanism, which has only changed within the last century. History has always been an indicator of this pattern. This poem highlights the greed of nations that led to their demise.

The Shatter

There was a community, The splendid ballads that sang Rich and poignant melodies Symbolizing the history, But a driven character The pulse was firm and joyous Equilibrium reached new heights Yet, — — It wasn’t perfect Far from here, He who lies awake While others sleep He who plots to take, But never gives The very own, Lucifer himself — — is discontent Requesting God for a favor, Lucifer slily remarked, “This pitiful nation of yours is incomplete Without -challenge, — suffering, — -agony, — — temptation How can civilization understand your grace?” So, God grants him One Week Contemplating his choice, Lucifer examined the greats, Fall of the Roman Empire, Ottoman Empire, Mongol Empire But settles on a distinct approach His strategy incorporated Hardships Isolation Misinformation After all, Lucifer preferred to look elegant, — -While cunning Droughts, Quakes, Gales, Shaped the once vibrant community Nowhere was the morning dew, Welcoming the splendors of each day, The Forest now cracked...

The Lone Wolf

 A joyous wolve,  Dwindled to the mud running down its leg From birth, a festive life lies ahead. The thrill of the pursuit  Weighed more than what the pack seized, For there was consistent food Ready at dinner's desire Brother and brother, Sisters and sisters, Joined hands for what was the final time unity Shaped this youthful pack For order established, Meant unequal roles And no longer can one look from eye to eye As implementation took place, Jealousy and Lust was always on the back of the minds  Of less fortunate wolves Hateful looks fill from place to place, Nowhere to hide As there need be hunters and mothers, But always must the lone wolf stay back Leading from astray, Leaders always dictated never being seen From accomplishing inferior tasks, For will mark the insignificance of a leader So higher always meant isolation, From the thrills of daily life, From the joy of parenthood, Always must remain vigilant, pack said, And always must the lone wolf answer Cra...

Why death?

 A river, The calming currents A sign of peace Life cultivates ubiquitous along its reach In refreshing summer, It supplies a bath and vitality itself For small and big creatures alike A chance to escape Mother Nature's harsh glares In frosty winter, Beneath the hard frost Always a surplus of fish discovered The spot where the Most life dwells A creator in and of itself Its immense arms stretch leagues Depositing ecosystems of which it is Fundamental Not the grueling sun or frigid winter  Can obstruct its route But solely one thing can, Divine intervention Abaddon witnesses life as a whole  And hearty like the sun Reels in hatred For he sought to ruin creation in and of itself A barren wasteland,  His signature of presence He then created Drought. All life wilted, Innocent life who lived for joy, The birds would sing beautiful Touches of melancholy music Nature at its finest shriveled The best and worse For dark things did dwell here But they were inconsequential to ...
