Pyramid

PYRAMID

“The car shot forward straight into the circle of light, and suddenly Arthur had a fairly clear idea of what infinity looked like.

It wasn’t infinity in fact. Infinity itself looks flat and uninteresting. Looking up into the night sky is looking into infinity—distance is incomprehensible and therefore meaningless. The chamber into which the aircar emerged was anything but infinite, it was just very very very big, so big that it gave the impression of infinity far better than infinity itself.”
― Douglas Adams

PYRAMID
Things might be
Complicated
In every direction
Blocking my brain
To ponder
Conjecture
Think
Scrutinize
Devour
Impossible
The past
Bing accumulated
In my brain
Pyramid
*****
From birth
Till here now
Being Ambushed
Shell castigate
Abuse condemn
Raid rebuke
Admonition
Pyramid
***
Day in
Day out
Being blocked
From thinking
Having thought
About here
And now
Restraint evasion
Betrayal flight
Of reality
Here and now
Pyramid
***
Siting standing
Waking sleeping
The past the
The yesterday
Before that
Eclipses
Overshadows
My today now
Present
Veiling it
Covering my
Sun light
Moon
Stars
Not to see
The existing
Reality truth
Pyramid
***
Making gloomy
My vision
Imagination
When I dig
Deep down
Taken by
Yesteryear
The mischief
Intrigue
Being in surveillance
Concentration camps
‘’Refugee Camps’’
Pyramid
***
Eating drinking
Digesting
Sucking our blood
Researching us
Their black
‘’Rates apes’’
For their
Masters. Doctorate
PHD thesis
Some come and go
As reporters
Journalists
…………
‘’Fact finding’’ mission
Ground work
In white peoples
Laboratory
Refugee Camp
Pyramid
***
I am not
After standing
On your top
Or going Round
Round
Or sleep
Inside you
***
Knowing what is
There
Wanted to demolish
Destroy your
Emblem
Representation
Sign token
Metaphor
Make you
Flat level
Smooth even
Uniform
Until you
No longer
Can exploit
Our being
