Possession

Mutley Ravishes

A military

Garrison of all

That isn't lovely

And of good report

Has built a fort

In my center of gravity

Repels all the attacks

Of techniques

And philosophies

Sends out raiding parties

To commit mini atrocities

    • Mutley Ravishes

      Thank you. It feels like a war somedays!

      • sunshine777

      • sorenbarrett

        This poem is well constructed and sends its message so poetically

      • Tristan Robert Lange

        Brilliantly crafted. The metaphor, crystal clear in so very few words! The internal war rages on! Well done! 🌹👏

        ...possession and occupation of sorts 🙏🏻🕊️

        • Mutley Ravishes

          For sure! I guess I invited them in....., not always knowingly!

          • arqios

            I guess allowing something is kind of like a passive invitation. Brings to mind open cities in times of war- survival mechanisms of sorts. 🙏🏻🕊

            • Mutley Ravishes

              Survival mechanisms of sorts - that's a great insight. I've read that addicts do what they do to survive, paradoxically. (I have some experience of this myself). Oh to awaken from the darkness of ignorance and its aversion and craving!

                Good political poem.

                • Mutley Ravishes

                  Well, I guess that's another way of seeing it! The "war" raging inside me has been going on for a long time.....
