It Doesn't Have To Be Like This

 

 

 Sauron’s Eye will hypnotize —

—       see it and
the soul dies.

His Orcs will have viciously discarded —
                    the ‘kind’ in mankind                                 

—       the souls' cries disregarded.

 

Then darkness spreads out —

—       blackening everything

until the bravest among women

unthrones the King.

At first I thought it was for Halloween, but by the end, I knew what you meant.

Too bad it didn't happen. I believe the underlying cause was the inability of over half of the population to see beyond their personal comfort and not the reality of society as a whole. They are basically incompetent, but don't know it. The kind of people that he calls "losers."

Four more years will tell the tale and by that time, they may have realized their mistake.

Oh would that it may happen. I am holding my breath that change is in the air. A delightfully understated piece of poetic flair.

A richly imbued warning your poetic piece is offering. There is that someone who would have our country ruled like a want-to-be Sauron, and of course, go on to acquire, suffocate and cast into oblivion all who might appose his eye of control and self-worship. We can only hope that leadership of this country by a woman will empower other women to provide the guardian fences of kindness in their duty to castrate and bury these paranormal eugenics of demagoguery and subversive power... of not just one, but of many who have already fallen prey to the Maia pounding on our door. Kudos for the bravery to post this quiet plea for conscience and civility.

Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
