Tiny Speck

A tiny speck
of fingernail dirt
was bitten from the hands
of authority
and spat into
a landfill of ignorance
where diaper brains
and canned truth
sail down polluted streams
of bogus dreams
in plastic boats
made from paper promises
but the hands
of my authority,
a fledgling voyage
of golden wing
flew beyond
the polluted streams
of bogus dreams
on a breezy vessel
called Virtue

    I especially liked the ending of the poem. It flowed well and was a pleasure to read. I look foward to reading more of your work.
