Orange Juice

Mutley Ravishes

Your belief

That I am

The Commander-in-Chief

Gives me so much energy

You wouldn`t believe

    It is so true that the acceptance of one's power is the fuel that perpetuates the journey. Orange such an interesting color a blend of yellow and red communistic cowardice comes to mind. A satire in metaphor

      Your comment just reminded me that even when I had a different intention with the rhyme someone else finds something else in it. So, on one level I "knew" what I was writing about, and on another level, I had no idea whatsoever!" (The original intention was me imagining myself as The Orange Man!) I hadn`t thought of the color orange in the way you wrote before, "Communistic cowardice"! I`d read somewhere (in the Buddhist tradition) that orange symbolizes one who is not controlled by lust anymore.

        Each culture different interpretations that is why I say not interpretation is wrong just not what the author may have intended.

        Muley, this is minimalism with teeth. Belief becomes currency, attention becomes power, and the speaker thrives on it. The restraint makes the implication unavoidable. Strong, incisive work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

          Thanks a million! I was thinking, even those who despise Orange Man are feeding him energy/power if they believe him to be the real Commander-in-Chief. Which has just brought on another thought! Meaning, maybe I believe the same thing about "the power behind the throne" as well. Oh well!
