To Be Relevant

 

Turned Right Way   ----

 

Some are Left to ponder,

A maze made to wander.

Decision starts, this beginning viewpoint,

Vision, then brings about - final endpoints.

 

Amazement wonders minds, adrift time traverses,

Wherein, We write, trails of sense tense traversals.

A tale, being Left upon, using spun written words,

Alone, we finger this trail, alight our words-worth.

 

Sometimes our world, becomes stiff - Right tilted,

Roundabout turning counter clockwise, back quilted.

Trying to wind back, the advancement moving rhyme,

That We must be ‘Contained’ - within social norm’s time.

 

Everyone cast to follow, hollow-point leaders, Right sided,

But deft Poets are Left fallow paths, To Be - Open Minded.

Churning rhythmic clock-wise, amid touching heartbeat pulses.

One's Will; germinates Free Verse, spontaneous composted impulses.

 

Phoenix dew, arises forth, from Right’s negative wasteland pyre,

Churn sowed minds; chime wing-winded spring-sprouts, aflame terse fire.

Climb beyond bootstraps. Dew prance barefoot - amidst free spirit currents.

We can follow – hollow; being stereotyped - Knot To Be Pertinent.

Or plead fertile furrows, to LEAD ‘fallow’ - DEW take a lead - To Be Relevant.

I must agree with Ron. Writing is freedom and I love this phrase, "One's Will; germinates Free Verse". 'Enjoyed!

Love ya!

Everyone needs to read this! To write verse is to be free. To proclaim right verse is to stagnate. There's lots of wisdom to be released in your words about the revalence of the righteous right these days. Perhaps it's time that we all move into the very challenging 21st-century and leave behind the great wars and stupid nationalism of the last century.
