This is the age of
Intelligent Conversation.
Sheep bleating false oaths.

Let's talk about change!
Synthetic enlightment.
Yet we can't see

wool over our eyes.
It's always idle chattering.
We speak of true love.

We sing of real peace.
Dreams of a brighter future.
Civilized sounds of

the way to Zion.
With our educated eyes,
we say we will search.

Yet it's hard to see
when we are plainly blinded,
from what does lurk there.
Another poem I wrote on the night I was drinking with some old friends. This, however, is an 'extended haiku'. Hope you like it!
