Acrophobics on a tight rope, one inch off the ground.
anticipated serendipity, the deaf can feel sound.
acutely apathetic, because anarchy rules!
abundant spiritual poverty, monkeys can use tools.
balanced insanity, becoming partially undone.
just when they think it's over, it has only just begun!
so with apathetic interest and in my humble arrogant way.
i balance my own insanity, with a casual formality.
my heart is burning cold,
through colorless kaleidoscope.
because everything is lost,
since i gave up hope.
it's a comedic tragedy,
a Common abnormality.
for what goes up, must surely fall.
but when it's mother on the line...
no one takes the call.
consistently inconsistent, with critical acclaim.
explicitly ambiguous, pretend you're not the same.
diminutive giants, diligent in our sloth.
cheerfully cynical, the authentic replica.
binging on moderation, are the charlatans of truth.
abundant spiritual poverty, monkeys can use tools.
please proceed with caution, it is dangerously safe.
and if you're a deaf listener, something just might penetrate!
but use direct circumvention, from point A onto point B.
for doubting are believers, in divided unity!

excellent write, kinda leaves me speechless, i'm really not to sure what to say. but i really like what you've done with the words, and the way they were put together was just beautifully done. Excellent pen:]

very funny

Wonderfully Done
"consistently inconsistent, with critical acclaim explicitly ambiguous, pretend you're not the same." I don't understand this part. Can you explain it to me? Remember that "your" indicates ownership where as "you're" is a shortened version of "your are." Or am I wrong? Or am I too picky? Of course, we never know what reality is. All stimli enter our heads and is filtered through our experiences and education and thus interperated

thank u much for pointing that out
ifixed
-
-
great vocabulary... i liked it
-
marvelous juxtaposition of opposites. great message as well. sometimes we really need to take a realistic assessment...it's not always a pretty discovery. but I still say I look cute with a hammer!
-
Another brick in the walll....
Very Pink, Zen, Police like....Major cooooll
-
A wonderful play on words. Yet a message so true within it.
-
the question to what the human race knows will forever remain a rhetorical question, one we will never know the answer to only thoughts, feelings and ideas about the subject. Great write though!
-
-
interesting ...
if not thoughts, feelings and ideas? then what are we made up of realy?
you know ... in a time further out ... our true flashpoint self.
all of this dimension... one color reflects another. ...ok words cant go here... sorry but what i mean to say is ..
the hour is shimmering for you and well .. us.
father times lingering
pause you know?
any way yeah but what are we realy?
only thoughts, feelings and ideas!

david micheals stole the words from my mouth =)
I wish i could write like this. It's inspired me to write something of this sort. And really isn't that what we all want to hear? That our poems inspire people.
Well Done.

indeed tanks

-
i love the phrasing of everything you say!
Great job! What does humankind really know?
Absolutely nothing in comparison to what is out there!
-
A veritable verbal cascade of oxymoronic opposites, and a really excellent poetic rant.
-
Great poem! I love all the oxymoron's you have used in this! Witty indeed!
-
Perhaps we have not evolved as far as we thought. WHAT AN AWESOME POEM!! Please excuse me, I'm going to go fling some poo now.
-
you go, baby...front page~ woohoo ...well deserved...you are an unbelieveable wonderment...my, my...
-
Very clever. It first impressed me as an intense, reactive write, but about halfway through, it seemed like you were just trying to fit in as many oxymorons as possible. Not that it's a bad thing, but it just changed the tone of the poem.
-

lol you have a sharp eye
tis true certain oxy's were a must to drive home a few points. thanks much for comment(s)

Them dangerous monkeys
-
I love it the oxymorons are deep and i love the rhythm.
-
it made me take notice, perhaps I will read more
-
great write
i think this is really true -
Poet
It seems you have a keen sense of todays world. And cannot a monkey be lead on a leash? Suppose Darwin is right. We, the new gods, truly in the shits. A must read, especially for our young. -
lol, I thought you meant oxycontin in your "sales pitch" for this... lol.
Anyway, I dug the meaning, but I though the flow suffered for the sake of vocabulary, to be honest.
Also, "becomming partialy"....
Did you do that on purpose?
It's a serious question... not being a smart a$$...
Overall, I dug it.
-
The wordplay here is tremendous. Alliteration, rhyming, colorful interesting language and of course a healthy dose of oxymoron's served up extremely well.
-
You should never trust a man who speaks words he does not understand, for the message may surely come of dark intentions.
Nevertheless, I loved your piece. It speaks volumes, whether you truly understand it youself or not. Fabulous diction. Bravo!

I really enjoyed this read
