Sum Zero Sum

\'The voices of children,
our enemy’s shield\'..
it always, infuriates me
when so-called activist\'s (especially those opportunistically abhorrent, celebs)
scream and shout about things,
they know so little about, because they choose
to dwell in their ignorance, excuses
for their pathetic virtue-signalling actions..
they never want the detailed complexities, just the fast-food
quick fixes...
so they\'ll march against one Nations actions for retaliatory warfare
and yet act all oblivious, when the Opposition
purposely, literally: utilises woman and children, as Shields, for their war mongering Regime...???!!!
If we let it, the absurdity of modernity\'s reality will eat us alive: truly!
But, we were gifted this life and like the generation\'s before us, who also decried this hypocrisy of social righteousness, in this warped reality, of phantom equality in our so-called evolved civility..
But!
we must, find a way to survive
yes we do our best, to create awareness and help those by our side
but we can\'t allow ourselves
to be swallowed-up by the bleakness in our horizon\'s of blanket night,
we must prevail, to get a glimpse
of Aurora\'s streaking forgiveness,
for another chance,
another day
another taste
of this blinked existence, we call life.
(another inspiring set of lines Kurt
had me typing away my feeble reply, as soon as I read that last line..
thanks for sharing, dear Poet)

Highway 93 Revisited
L. B. Mek said:

someday, if I continue to strive
I\'ll have earned the capacity and opportunity to write like you, wise Poet
and that day, when the cursor is blinking away
after my final word has found, its rightful place, I hope
I remember these words I write today
and in doing-so, pay homage
even for that momentary, melancholic - breath
to all those, that help guide me
in this endless, poetic journey...
(a Brilliant set of write\'s, Kurt!
that second poem \'18kt memories\', reads like an epitaph they would have thrown-in, at the Poet\'s corner, when Tennyson and those of his ilk got their grand celebratory funerals)

Time\'s Gauntlet
L. B. Mek said:

as I see it
\'They\' bequeathed us their Genius
for us to lean-on, knowing
we\'ll need it!\'
(these words you weaved, work on so many levels
personally, my initial interpretation
took me to our strained relationships with our muses or inspirations,
\'Searching for ideas
We challenge
—with voices from the past\')
a great shorty, succinct and unassuming
but imbued with so much depth, a true showcasing of layered poetic brevity

Kurt,

‘Tis wise and prudent
to heed the
‘voices from the past’…
‘the legends’.

So much history to interpret and understand between the white spaces of your written gem.

The Moment Returns
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

• “The Moment Returns”
• “Leaving With The Sun”
• “Guardian Age”
• “Heaven\'s Gate”

I’ve enjoyed reading your Dreamsleeps.

Is it the subconscious getting messages through…the unpacking of what is happening at a deep inner and as yet unconscious level?

Upon continuing your journey, you’ll be leaving a little bit more of YOU in those majestic mountains and valleys.

Godspeed my dear poet.

The Moment Returns
L. B. Mek said:

oh to be wild and free, galloping carelessly
oh why did I have to stub my toe, trying to act all carefree
if only
there was a middle ground of temperate acceptance
we could excavate from within and help, curate
a small sense of serenity, in our everyday reality...
\'Tomorrow in the barn,
A horse running free\'...
Amen!
(profound wisdom
worded so accessibly poetic
thank you Kurt)

I have been having lately, on a similar theme
