grandma’s lava lamp
covered with cobwebs and dust
waits in the attic
for a peace and love deluge
to flush toxins out
in Age of Aquarius
to sail right and left
of political discord
and civil dissolution

Author Notes
Inspired by our broken political system.
CHOKA-It's a Japanese court poetic form of the 6th to 14th century consisting of nine-lines in a 5/7/5/7/5/7/5/7/7 syllables pattern and may be repeated. Originally, CHOKA was written in 100 sets. It was composed mainly to commemorate life events. for examples and more information from the Poets Collective CLICK HERE
Deluge = a major flood
A lava lamp is a decorative lamp, invented in 1963. It consists of a special colored wax mixture inside a glass vessel that contains a translucent liquid.
Civil dissolution: is a legal document that terminates a civil partnership. It dissolves on the grounds that it has broken down irretrievably.
Government Dissolution = is an order issued by the head of a state terminating a parliament and necessitating a new election.
Zodiac: Age of Aquarius = astrological era believed to bring increased spirituality and harmony on earth. During the 60s and during 2020 to 2021 shifts in energy, both have been a ride. Aside from navigating the Covid era, we're also have entered a new astrological period associated with the social movement, equality, and progress. Jupiter and Saturn are two large planets in our solar system, which govern similar yet opposite aspects of large concepts. Jupiter is a planet of expansion, growth, and generosity. Saturn is a planet of structure, discipline, and hard work. They're both planets that help us move forward, and influence governance and whole generational shifts, but each in a very different way. click here to read source
