Coming of Age

In this prison without bars, this illusion,

wisdom had left for desire and false hope

and all that is dark amongst strangers.

Along a path strewn with broken

memories, hanging from the Judas tree

screaming for vengeance.

 

Lies, upon lies, upon lies

like gathering clouds

in ever darkening skies.

 

Creating fear, upon fear, upon fear

Chip and pin, GPS, microchip kids,

got us tagged, eroding our liberties

that much is clear.

 

“What foppery is this?”

Truth is broadcasting on another frequency.

 

I have seen the unseen world

and spoke to the salamander

who bade me not disturb

the ‘Tawny Eyed’ dream stealer

who bathes in the Black Sun


 

“Screw you” said I, “your game is up,

for we are infinities of possibilities,

free thinkers, who give our love freely,

we are all and we are one

and will not succumb”.

The GPS Sparky radar could see it a comin'! Coming of Age wades into Truth up to its fattened flanks! How many pigs were put into the tomb to feed the emperor? Precise word organization, Paul...

Oh, BRAVO Paul! A breath of fresh mountain air! Really clears away the fetid stench from the accumulated mounds of rotting human waste befouling our breathing (and hence, thinking) space.
Thank you for having the courage to post this resonate, timely piece, POET!
Peace,

No loss of innocence quite so brutal as unforgiving disillusionment and no claim to selfhood quite so powerful as raging against the same. A beautifully brilliant and brilliantly beautiful work. Much gratitude for the sharing:-)

A man after my own heart Paul - well at times, when I am not gushing romantic drivel and convoluted mind puzzles.

A wise and insightful sage of a write with the overtones of a frustrated prophet.

"What foppery is this?" INDEED! Good job!

WOW!! I can both see and hear you recite this, Paul, (my privilege!!) and it is POWERFUL. For all your jovial flipness, you do "serious" and "deep" very well. This is a mind of a truly great thinker at work and your sonorous tones here spell out the message... "L-I-S-T-E-N.... I MEAN WHAT I SAY"... I like a good eye-ballin from time to time... this one stopped me in me tracks... On the other hand... you up for a party??????? :)) Too damn right you are... Poole Harbour or bust... BTW "What foppery is this?" Truth is broadcasting on another frequency.... BRILLIANT!! I like! LOL K xx
