Intangible Things

I have thought devoted
more than twenty years
to intangible things
solid materialists would devalue.

Ephemeral ennobling ideals
sourcing spiritual morality
materialism's destitute junkies
would consider frivolous.

Surmountable enlightened ideals
that will spiritually revolutionize
fundamental world still locked within
frozen wastes fearing an ice age.

A lost product consuming
world still locked within
a fear or faithless insecurity
abhorring poverty still fears.

Only mad dogs
will insatiable prey upon
the wretched
forsaken of the earth.

Only mad dogs
will boast of exploiting
the wretched
down trodden of the earth.
