  • February 5th, Friday morning, purple dawn... A moment like a poem, you wish you could hold it... I shut my eyes like it's frozen... it's gone when I open...

Am I the Only One Listening?

Stop and smell the roses

This is a desolate life

Without our imaginations

We’ll live in a world of black and white

Infinite realms of possibilities

Seeming separate

We create and design life

Thriving, beating, breathing

We are a part of the same music

That sings from the birds and the bees

All connected under the sun

We have lost the meaning

Vacant smiles, hollow promises

Spiritual beings capable of profound emotion

What has happened to us?

Drones in a pyramid society

Unwilling to seek truth

Freedom is our birthright

Allowing ourselves to be controlled by a minority

We forget ourselves

Our humanity

Listen to the wind

You’ll hear my cries

The music louder every time

Am I the only one listening

This is very nicely done...you bring the ills of the world to the forefront(I like that...trust me lol) and with such passion and emotion I must say. You have put an image in my head of a town crier standing in the town square on a soapbox calling out to the people...as they just mill about...drone and zombie like...dead to your words of wisdom. May the Kudos be with you :)

Well that image is how I feel.. When you walk out and just watch ppl.. They don't really have any deep thoughts.. just going.. going.. i feel it all the time

WOW, as a writer I had to actually sit here and really think about what I was going to say. It was such a great poem it left me speechless, and I did not want to put just a random comment to it as it deserves so much more then that. Brilliantly thought out and perfect in your approach to it. For as young as you are, you are very gifted. Keep it up I look forward to reading more of your work....

Eyes wide open. An illusion world. Where we are trained to believe our lying eyes. A poem of deep perception, seeing the shapes within the shadows and the sounds within the silence. Well written.
