Choice and Context (Resurrect) (A Poem at Easter 2024)

AuburnScribbler

Choice and context,

make my cross,

to which; in contest,

marks my loss,

 

nails of system,

promote my gain,

but easy wisdom,

forms my pain,

 

the numbers whip,

replace my blood,

such damage sips,

say what I would,

 

thus, painful crown,

means no neglect,

for gloomy clown,

can’t resurrect.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Happy Easter everyone, and I hope that certain festivities are going well, but if you don't celebrate it, I hope that all is well nonetheless. Because of the relentless poor show from humanity, fueled by erroneous prideful decisions, for a fair bit, every morning, I have woken up both angry and afraid. Thus, a certain confidence, faith and even love has been lost. Hence, as I continue to live and observe, there is also a wish to die to escape, but seeing as we are in the festival of resurrection, a new hope, a new beginning needs to light the way, instead of the usual relying on such dangerous popularisms, that have become the clear nails in our living dead coffins. With this in mind, I thought I would write this, to both air out my opinion, but also to share my thought, on how I should survive in such a poorly constructed world. The banner picture could resemble a large collection of Easter eggs, or it could symbolise the individual hues, that comprises the aura of every person. I hope that you enjoy the poem, again Happy Easter, and as always, please do stay safe everyone.

    You have very cleverly used elements of the crucifiction to describe the sense of despondency that seems to be creeping over our society. It is certainly becoming more difficult each day to find hope that we can resurrect. Kudos my friend, a fine write!

      Thanks for the read, for your very kind words, and for favouriting this poem Bella, it's very much appreciated.

      I'm glad that my inclusions of certain references of the crucifixion, have been well received by you, and I'm glad that your words above are in agreement, in what I trying to convey. How can hope be so needily found, in such a dark forest that is so easily made?

      Thanks again, and I hope that all is well.
