The scale of the lie doesn’t
Bear comparison. Hundreds of
Thousands of dead litter the books
History writes. Those glorious
Wars didn’t happen; they were
All vanity & preening, the
Transmission into rot &
Jelly of the living, just for
A few yards, words & pride.

The epidemics of our modern days
Are #gargantuan in their extension of
These mismatched promises &
Pretences. Men with fluffy hair
& unkempt minds and the
Sole aim of eradicating the poor
& the lonely for the sake of what?

universes feel
pure love’s gargantuan reach
to our hearts inside

The tower cast a long shadow across his mind, small and unassuming on its hill, yet #gargantuan in the space it held in his thoughts.

He saw it in the words spilling from their poison mouths, in the horrors pouring from their eager minds, day in and day out.

It was just a hunk of metal, he tried to reason. Nothing special. Just steel and wires, just the locus of the desperate hatred flowing through him. Just the reason he would never see home again.
