Implications of Doing Nothing
What we seem to have here
my dear
is a new social documentary
depicting an
anguished, sigh of our times ..
Yet still one
should not try, to deny there is
a certain innocent
beauty in all of the rubble that
so very many
casualties casually leave behind
in the rust and the
dirt and the blue caustic smoke ..
That might otherwise
burn old skin from young bones
and make each
one of us either go crazy or blind ..

I don't suppose I will get any hidden meanings intended by poets - I rarely do! lol.
there are no hidden meanings .. only those they choose not to see ..
It seems clear on the surface that documentaries do little but sensationalize and that innocent beauty left behind is the viewer's eye candy stuffing themselves without getting up from the couch. There we sit intrigued with attrocities hypnotized, desensitized, driven insane and blinded by too many hours spent watching. May be way off base with this one but then I'll blame it on the documentary
Not so much a documentary in the literal sense my friend but very close indeed .. but then again, on reflection .. maybe spot on .. Neville
Thank you for todays enjoyable read, enjoy the rest off your day.
Thank you for calling & back at you my friend .. Neville
You are very welcome
Apathy that feeds the decomposition of sensibility and common sense, such a vicious cycle…sloping ever downward… the descent of humanity all the while deluded of its ascent…
Now aint that a fact .. Cheers brother a .. N

In this day ad age caring to others is no concern for those in power yet they could solve the crises in the world if they really cared.

If they stopped causing the problems in the first place, it would be a good start .. but I do take your point .. Neville
Hmm, the eternal poet sees beauty in the ashes, eh? From exquisite imagery tricking out a macabre reality, to the lurid poignancy haunting your lines, whither am I to turn, eh? Thank you for sharing.
Bless you Missy .. I hope you have been able to snatch a few hours time owing, or at least wangle some overtime payments to compensate for the inconvenient shifts that have been lobbed your way recently .. Neville
