Leviathan
L. B. Mek said:
really relatable, I like the striking imagery as well
forgive me, I couldn\'t help but be inspired
to scribble a little poetic reply:
(I think Captain Ahab\'s main failing
wasn\'t necessarily
going after that leviathan
it was more the fact that
he allowed his hatred to blind him
of the small blessings around him
his loyal crew, his sister
and how profitable their hunt was
which would have helped to limit
what he willingly sacrificed to get his leg back..
and thus, we too
at times need to offset
those leviathan trauma\'s, plaguing our minds
against
what we currently possess in our lives
that\'s how
we can continue to walk away from those cliff edges
and find our way back, to our survival shorelines)

Often we find the abuse more than its victimisation becomes a training for a life after the abuse and abuser have exited centrestage. Powerful expression here TFS.

You so thoroughly dive in to the words. I do appreciate! This is my thoughts as a castaway and an outsider, if such things can truly be.

\'If you accept a concept
Do you become subject to it\'
only if we allow it
to blinker, our awareness...
when
we observe
that contrasting duality
is a common theme of our everyday reality
we realise, trying to believe
in one thing, alone - stubbornly
is a frail scaffolding to frame
our foundations of life...
even if that one thing is nihilism\'s
oh so convenient, nothingness!
life is tough, whichever way
you traverse it..
(my 2 cents worth
of over opinionated, opinion
forgive me
lol)
thanks for sharing, dear Poet
a wonderfully thought provoking poem

L. B. Mek said:
yeah, well
we kinda all fall victim to such failings
at some point;
especially in our younger
more vehemently, impassioned
versions of ourselves..
the distinction, exists in what we do
during these brief spells of mindless
enraged, states..
we can imagine the worst of horrors
and as long as they remain, mere
imaginations
then we can survive, without accruing
too much consequence, but
if we shed our chords to self-control
well...
that sad story
we all know, already!

I blame the 60s hippies. Peace and love, it was just too radical. It\'s a well known fact, politicians and generals can\'t dance, so that only leaves them one other vice to play with, and they play it well, all over the world.

Well i suppose you need to blame someone. But why choose the poor fkkr who has to manage your mess - he didn\'t create it, that was done by all the rest of you, generation after generation.
