Untitled {7}

Niko Papadatos

Close the lid, don’t let them in, 

when walking down your path, 

don’t let their kick make you lose your feet. 

 

Everyone’s right on the eyes of their own,

but everyone is also equally as wrong in the eyes of their foe. 

 

Live life, 

don’t let it pass by. 

 

Observe the flight of a fly, 

make your fingers touch the sky, 

close your eyes and stare at nothing, 

lay down and just hear their stories, 

make your voice be heard, 

Be sure to not hurt. 

 

Smile, 

liberty, dissolvable

freedom, an illusion

smile, yours.

    So many conflicting statements in this poem it all comes down to the end and it becomes evident that nothing can be trusted. Well done

          Beautifully complex poem. Definitely a fave. One in life as to decide whether to be part of the 99% or the 1%. Well done!

          • Niko Papadatos

            Thank you so much! That was also one of my main objectives with this poem.

            A poem rich with thought and style. Each paragraph feels like its own poem but when seen as a bigger picture, everything combines. Good job

            • Niko Papadatos

              Like the
              wind, soothing, but temporal.
