Dark Moon (poem) by L. G. Figgins on AuthorsDen

"Those boogie men in dreams" may be trying to tell us the truth,
best to pretend we already know, to blindly follow, better yet to take a few pills to help us keep our wits about us...... To prefer
the numbness of collective blindness is insanity. Excellent Pierre.

I actually prefer the numbness
of collective blindness

What a profound statement for today's world, Linda.

Ah, Mothers Little Pill! Yes it is
a "dark moon" shines at times or I guess
doesn't shine at all. ;) Introspective Lin!

Lin, You write well of so many caught in this rut of seeking numbness. The times are confusing everyone. Finding relief in a pill isn't the answer, but it helps at times.Excellent timely write!

This says so much but yet it hides so much more beteen the lines. Well done though and interesting choice of format.

Denying will never change the truth, but dwelling in it will not make us feel any better either. My daily thought to myself for today is: "If we don't acknowledge that we are part of the problem, it is certain that we will never be part of the solution." I have never taken meds for mood elevation, well at least not legal ones. <grin> I have always believed that it was up to me to control my attitude or it was going to control me. We may not be able to control what happens to us but we can control how we respond to it. I do agree with you that so many walk around numb and have no idea what life is really about and even less of a desire to find out. Living in a paper doll world works fine for them until the day that it all comes tumbling down. Nice work, Linda.
Take care,
Sherry

Nicely done, Lin. You make some great points. I've divorced myself from all my pills. I wasn't good at taking them "properly." That can be awkward. Thanks for this. Love and peace,

Quite allright. The preface explains the poem. It's not personal, looking at the "big picture". But thank you, dear Peter...
