The Poetic Musings of Dawn

~pi~ (#63)

Lightning Strikes

Electricity hums from
hands
held high in manifestation.
All
in the name of science,
this energy is built to break the chains on society.
Beats down
unruly beam of light and angles
away from the intended destination.
Genius insanity, trial used in hope of creating
change to unkempt public wars over the source.
Files are lost in death as suspicion
rises from the regime's command against a humble inventor
when lightning strikes.

"You know Pi as the sixteent letter of the Greek alphabeth. But Pi is also used as poetry form. I discovered a small explanation on the page of Jan Haag, who has written several poems in Pi form.

The Pi is built up in words and follows the mathematical number that stands for Pi:
PI = 3.141592653589793
