sorenbarrett

I saw starving people in a forest green

where a raven ate a dead snake

there a vegan slaughtered a bean

soaring eagles into slaves he did make

 

justice blinded by human predation

exterminated wolves, saving sheep

temperance workers addicted to medication

dropped atom bombs so millions can sleep

    Wow, an unbelievable impact of imagery. 🌹

    • sorenbarrett

      Thank you Teddy this one is a little obtuse but underneath it all it has a meaning.

            It's a crazy, mixed up, shook up world.

            • sorenbarrett

              Thank you so much for the read and comment yes it is a crazy world but one that follows its own order. This poem is crazy and shook up but underneath there is order.

              Nihilistic in the extreme, Soren. I both liked it and felt repelled by it. Best I can do - Sorry.

                Success!! Then the meaning came through in emotion. Thanks so much Dave for the review and insightful emotional response. To me meaning in poetry is not always cognitive but rather emotional. I am thrilled.

                A fine write SB.
                Ahh, an idea of what I can cook for KP's dinner - a dead snake! lol.

                  Thanks Orchi for the read but be sure the snake is dead live ones tend to crawl out of the pan.

                  The imagery here is strange and chaotic. The world is changing, who knows what lies in store for the future. Glad I won’t be around in fifty years time to find out. The future looks bleak. Great read.

                  • sorenbarrett

                    Yes strange is one word I already said that it is obtuse but there is a message and the title is a hint. Thank you so much for the read and comment. Hope you are here for a good long time.
