Endless2
L. B. Mek said:

\'milieu\'
one of my favourite words!
P G. Wodehouse visits me
in that word
a small reminder
that there are the lighter
pages
in the annals of humanity..
a reminder we all need
from time to time
desperately!

Dark Sky
L. B. Mek said:

\'Hopelessly
adrift.
Lemmings.
Sheep.
Critical
thinking,
independent
thought
crushed.\'

\'Battle
for the
soul.
Lost!
Marching
orders
planet wide.
What was,
will never
be allowed.\'

and we\'re watching the demise
real-time, front row seats
with our eyes shut wide..
(just crazy dear Poet
unfathomably, stupendously
crazy!)

Light
L. B. Mek said:

yeah, refracted or a spotlight
own it, make sure we shine bright
while it hovers over us
(wonderful energy in this one dear Poet)

Destination2
L. B. Mek said:

blank pages as our road maps
we traverse a life designed
to have us stuttering our success
while gliding effortless
to all the abundant woe
in our accursed paths..
(better we don\'t know
what new flavour of strife
is waiting around that next corner
or else, i doubt
any of us would bother
learning to stand as children
knowing
we\'re better of just crawling around
realising
it won\'t be long till we\'re back down
on our hands and feet)

Scripted
L. B. Mek said:

very clever
yes, antiquity named them magicians
Merlin as their legacy supreme
we call them politician\'s and scientist\'s
those
who confuse, delude and program us
in-to ignoring the logic
in our own, thoughts...
(another insightful slice
from your wisdom eyes..
thank you!
oh cherished Poet)

Cool but the way it’s written is kinda distracting. Not allowing me to fully meditate on the words.

Hypnosis
Goldfinch60 said:

So very true John. A few years ago I was going up to London on a Sunday.
I was at the railway station to get the first train and there were 16 people on the platforms, I was the ONLY one not on the \'phone!

Alignment2
L. B. Mek said:

Brilliant!
(and crazy the symmetry
between your wonderful poem
and the latest scribble I shared)
\'Time
space
choreography.
Infinite
moving parts
conjoined.\'

Five Years
L. B. Mek said:

we assume tomorrow\'s would just follow
-on, like a page turn
in the annals of Time
then, here comes a plague
a vote
a choice horrendous, hoodwinked
too late for regret
Nietzsche warned us
\'We killed God\'
know what?
since religion\'s
took it upon themselves
to warp all of society\'s morals
with their convoluted fantasy lore
now what
we chucked out those vile abusive priests
and Pop\'s with warmongering KIDS
but
now our secular society
is devoid of meaning
people forget
before religion, we had
marriage
before religion, we had
nuclear family
before religion, we had
respect for our elders and those
who merited our admiration
now
it\'s all nihilistic neurotics
demanding, assuming
their capacity for breath
entitles them to all the selfish
idiocy they can get away with
so now, job interviews
no longer ask
what do see yourself doing in five years
since the entire world
is clueless, all we can do is guess
just how far we have left to regress
until we reach rock bottom...
\'these be worrying time\'s\'
said every generation before us
and whatever generation may survive us

Animal Eyes
L. B. Mek said:

all of Nature, see\'s true
it\'s only us, with our shades
that darken, warp and taint
all that we see around us
population majority of city dwellers
removed from that connection
with all the living around us..
(so deep, wise Poet
thank you)
