Remembrance

by Odin odin@aflx.com — Read all 3,869 poems by Odin odin@aflx.com

To look around seems to reveal an ever-present malaise—neglect to seek beyond the obvious Pied Piper influence to disappear in the shadow of others. (Image by Dali)

Remembrance

 


Recall…

Beauty
An epiphany beyond expression

A baby’s cry
As the sound of mankind’s continuance

Ambition
The quintessential slippery slope

Competition
The dice roll of seduction

Envy
Admiration risking its legs

Jealousy
Emotion’s self-loathing servitude

War
An avoidable aberration

For many…

 

Nurturing a life lived
Worthy of remembrance

Gets lost in determination for escape.

I used to adore the artwork of Dali and Escher when I was in college. Not so much anymore. I agree. There is an ever-growing malaise around us in every layer and aspect of life - spiritual, moral, psychological, philosophical, artistic, etc. Sadly, even this once vibrant community of writers and poets is dying. Appreciate these 'cut-to-the-chase' thoughts. r

Unexpected, insightful comments on common, everyday realities that we harbor within ourselves without fully realizing their import.
