Strangely strange how the world of you-man-ity
And apathy and psychopathy
Have de-you-manized him and me
From a life that is free
And I for one can see
If we don't learn to agree
You-man-ity
Will get even closer to a calamity
That leads to mass insanity
See these they had no fight
They gave in their plight
And I with all my might
I have no insight
Cause I can’t see the light
All I feel is fright
As my chest gets so tight
And tears cloud my vision as I write…
Transparency of time and space
Well now that's another chase
And I hope that with God’s grace
He wraps him in a warm embrace
And wipes the tears from his face
That leads a trace
To the disgrace
That erased
You from your peaceful place…

IM THE FIRST ONE! YES! ABOUT TIME! LMAO. ANYWHO. This Poem is really good Gayte. So is the pic. It is so strong and It definitely works with the flow of the poem. WHAT I LIKE THE MOST is how the structure of the poem shifts out of place after the first stanza. and then returns back at the end. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThought provoking! Deep! Good work.
