Dr Molly vividly depicts life’s diverse aspects and an enigmatic “Dial” that determines destiny and directs all human endeavours, exclusively for Different Truths.
as in a
monochrome
the dial stalks
all follow suit...
the morns
misty, soggy
rainy,
alternated
by bright
sheaves of
light, glistening...
days fringed on
wistful longing
of something
special
soon to be
devoured by
the monotony
of the mundane...
zestful cries
thundering on
zealous
compulsions...
be it for power
dominance...
the average
always on
on thorns of
the inadequate
in ceaseless
war against
poverty,
disease...
the rich
wriggling in
cloyed satiety
extravagance...
the poet,
the painter
the philosopher
mapping this
topography
vying with
interests to
validate...
hah! the Dial
decides,
stalks,
all follow...
