Waste

In a soul of ashy waste,
In a soul that won’t escape,
Cries for help remain in place
And helplessness fills all space.

In a mind of self-disgust,
In a mind that self-mistrusts,
Ego flees while pleading needs
And bitterness sows its seeds.

In a heart of aching mirrors,
In a heart that weeps with fears,
Self abides with self inside
And hopelessness now resides.

Erin, this is what I call a crafted poem. You clearly did not just sit down, write in one shot, and post. LOL If you did, you're either a Mozart or were having one hell of a lucky day. ;-)

I will hope that hopelessness does not reside within you, friend Erin, you have nothing to feel that way for as you have too much to live for and write about...Ed

"Waste" flows through the river of knowledge of the concept of the cloned-man; its waves make foam of teleological and ontological searching. This poem reveals the compliance with the mission of a poetic task. It is no doubt the flower scented in the Garden of knowledge and wisdom.

Thank You, Poet for sharing Your art.
