Ingenuity

a judgement surrendered

decision lost,
fair market value no longer exists,
under siege by those who
make the laws and
those enforce them,
victims of an elitest class that
looks down on those
who wonder...
who question...
who want things better
than before...
a listless memory of sorts
no one remembers
but knows it was there,
like the sun, the moon, 
and the stars,
the existence of conjecture,
factoring good and evil into
a combustible thought...
an engine of sorts
destined to make the future
before the past catches up.
