Homage to T.S. Eliot

 

 

                                           WASTELAND REVISITED

                                                
                                                  Storms of pitiless
                                                  self love rage
                                                  darker all around
                                                  us each day. Is
                                                  this the blistering 
                                                  WASTELAND of
                                                  the heart the poet
                                                  warned of? Listen,
                                                  you'll hear cries
                                                  only of ME,ME,ME
                                                  growing louder day
                                                  by day until, I fear,
                                                  one bloody sundown
                                                  all of us drown.

The wisdom posited here is so often ignored, yet narcissism can only continue to dominate one's existence until consciousness rears it beautiful head once again, and... it's always available, even to extreme Right thinkers.

That type of self love usually does lead to a wasteland. Great write.

I imagine that all humanoids are beginning to see the handwriting on the wall. All systems are shaking. But no one can cry that they haven't been warned as the global paradigm approaches. All the poets can do is scratch warnings in the sand and hope an unexpected wave doesn't obliterate the message.

There seems to be a lot of this wasteland theme going round lately. Must be the fact we're heading into the greatest depression. I, of course, completely sympathize with this poem on all levels. ME, ME, ME will morph to WEE, WEE, WEE as everyone rushes down the rollercoaster of dstruction one last, fun-filled time!
