As we sip from Mother's shins.

 

 

 

 

 

We follow regimented footsteps of rancid tread,

to mirror minor images of mere materialism

that clasp celebrity in right-handed realities,

whilst swapping sense for sustainability

 

and angst is dramatically decided;

divided diligently--

 

directly placed near bleating faces,

that baa too far from truth's backdoor.

 

Expectations eke a little larger than life,

framing quips of dipped deliberations

that holler "heil hitler" to moral codes

and media moments that march corruption

through meaningless tomorrows...

 

mankind's sorrows sorely weep,

whilst breathing broken dreams

into ocean skies of definitive demise.

 

I am utterly morose--mixed-up in the mess

of too many ignorant people

who define ideals with questionable sanity,

while nature lifts lids on vacant beds

to resist a list of unheavenly ails

 

for we are naught but extreme existence,

scribbled upon pages of stolen beauty.

  • "to mirror minor images of mere materialism"

    It has been a while since I've seen such a fine example of alliteration.

    Splendid!

    Your poem speaks of "ignorance" with a twinge of disdain. Vile unknowing, which thinks it knows, knows nothing more than nothing. Ignorance is relevant in the scheme of things. That is where intelligent people enter into agreement to teach, and possibly, we could eliminate such a thing.

    My mother used to tell us to "ignore ignorance". I have come to believe that we must educate those who do not know, and in the event they insist to be pressed upon, we should allow them to wallow in the mud of their misinterpreted ways.

    Your poem gives the reader an ounce of prevention that is worth tons of cure. Thank you for this entry and your aspiration to become AllPoetry Poet Laureate. I wish you well.


    Much Love & Respect ♥
