Inspired by a recent blogster talking about Bruce S. and his album, "Devils and Dust"

She fears for Bruce's soul
Says he's in spiritual crisis...

I say, God Help Anyone Who Isn't
Conflicted On A Spiritual Level

She says it's because he's 55
Hanging on the edge of death...

I say, In Case You Haven't Noticed
We're All Facing Death Right Now

She says he's just not the same
Bruce she grew up with...

I say, Your Hero Is Human Honey
And People Change

She hopes that for family's sake
He gets relegion real soon...

I say, For Your Own Sake
Look Into Your Own Soul Lady

She says everything about him
Has become so dark it's scary

I say, Go Back To Wonderland
And Try Not To Open Your Eyes

Excellent... How can anything from Jersey be in conflict? The Boss is spreading his wings and sharing his views, because like all of us he was Born to Run...

And I'd say this is a great poem - Long Live the Boss!

Linda,

I like this, I like this a lot!

My absolute favorite in the poem:
"I say, God Help Anyone Who Isn't
Conflicted On A Spiritual Level"
Though, this is running a close second:
"I say, Your Hero Is Human Honey
And People Change"

unless we change with life's moods and motion, we cannot keep up with the pace of its clarity ... sounds like she's afraid to open her eyes ... she's afraid of change ...

good poem & point, Linda ...

LOL. Somebody didn't go to critique school and get licensed. Guess she missed the part about judging the art and not the artist. Someone get the smelling salts for her if she ever visits my work from her blog haven. ;-)
Great lines in this, Linda.

I always find suspect anyone who fears for another's soul. I doubt they would recognize spiritual growth if it bit them on the arse. "Better they clean up the mess inside." (Henry Higgins-My Fair Lady) Unfortunately they never recognize themselves, so busy preying on.

Nicely said and done.

It's true ... so many people get them selves so tied up in knots about other people's lives but forget to look in the mirror.

Nice couplets here.
