In your blindness you can see
the world's veracity in transparency
You speak beauty through your poetry
of wars gory and bloody, of glory and loyalty
visions of all the god's disparity and vanity
Sightless eyes of empathy reveal life's inequity
with ears that hear hypocrisy in total clarity
all the glee and agony of society
its charity, tranquility and brutality
a gentle breeze of mercy then the storm's calamity
Things that are and aren't but shouldn't and should be
love, peace, harmony, savagery and misery
of death and immortality
despair, pain and prosperity
venality and abject poverty
sensuality, immorality, depravity
honesty, mendacity, insincerity
insanity, inhumanity, reality
Now rest o poet buried in lyrical totality

Poetry at it's finest verse dear Sorenbarret utter beauty and a vision of something we are all blinded by. Kudos sir.
Most humbling Teddy thank you for your gracious comments. They are appreciated.
That's a lot of 'itys'! lol.
Heehee how about fiendish difficult to rhyme words, like courage, orange, even God? I fit Him in, but rarely at the end of lines of poetry!
And who is Kudos? I'm talking rubbish now!
Thanks Orchi, every once in a while the brain goes on vacation. When it does I empty its waste can and retrieve the garbage. Out come all the easy rhyme words which are pasted together to make do until the brain returns. Yea I did try the hard words once, it didn't work out so well I put them in my own rubbish can where the brain can't find them.
The travesty is that the poem ended. Subject matter to the poet is many times irrelevant as a poem can take form from a single word, as it then births the subject. But, in retrospect, this write makes perfect sense. Well done!
Thank you so much Michael I appreciate the read and most generous words. Yes poems become living things that multiply from a single cell or at times are created deliberately with an architect, engineer, and contractor. This one was the former. Thanks again
You like the challenges (done in different schemes before) None the worse for that, Soren.
Thanks Dave appreciate the read.
I love that last line. It adds a power and calls out the necessity that a humble poet impacts with hallowed status.
Thanks Bobby I appreciate the read and kind comment.
Oh this flow, so effortless
Yet punctuated by raw energy
I bet this was a one session write
!Brilliant!
Insightful, vulnerable
commentary
executed
with practised skill!
i Love this!
Thank you! dear Poet
So right oh wise one it was a one session write with only a couple of minor modifications latter. When one goes on a rant it has to be a single session, otherwise it evaporates. Once again I thank you for your encouragement.
