Water in Vinegar Blood

EXPERIMENTAL


Tuesday, November 29, 2005

One hundred years from now 
we will be past, our history impartial.
The gods and weapons we market
will be part-by-part  scanned by androids.
Some of the greatest peacemakers of our times 
will be charged with swelling the assets 
of Hitler and Mussolini.
New propagandists will obliterate 
Goebbels from sociology textbooks.         
The military junkets, where children 
learn numbers counting 
dead friends and siblings,
will see small protests and uprisings.

In this journey in nonlinear times 
poets, prophets and madmen 
will contribute to one another’s oeuvre.
Whisky will be sold in poetry books,
poetry in beer cans,
beer in blood banks,
blood in water tanks,
water in vinegar blood.

Man does have the tendency to contaminate even the purest of things. A thought-provoking write Debashish. Hopefully, what little light we can each shed will make a difference in the final outcome.

Love & Light,
Joseph

a disturbing prophetic poem that rings with the truisms of how the "modern" age may deevolve ...

One possibility of a dark future, but stranger things have happened. Poets have been prophets in the past. But based on some of the things we've witnessed, this poem could very well be common sense extrapolation. I like the matter of fact tone here. ~~Nordette

Your experimental futuristic poem is quite intriguing, Debashish.
