Poetry
Minus the Higher Power
Emptiness consumes …
Its hunger sated briefly
With the ch-ching of purchase:
High-end luxury goods
That break the budget;
Low-end ‘buys’ that
Saturate life.
Narcissism thrives as
The hollow ones
Wallow in the shallows:
The perpetual pursuit of possessions,
The attention that owning brings.
It sees self reflected in
What has been acquired
But is blind to
Engorged being.
Emptiness:
A lightless void …
The soul’s deficit.
