Though the wall cannot be broken, I hope in time it will fall away.

I think that Covid - 19 is a global marketing campaign - there is nothing happening in the world in terms of infectious disease that does not happen routinely and all the time. In that sense Covid - 19 is a hoax - but worse than that a Genocide. The global implementation of a sanitary dictatorship is made possible by the people - who would rather be a slave in a gas chamber than take responsibility for their own life.

On the one hand - you admonish the sheeple for going quietly into the final night designed for them by the genocidal elite (covid hoax) - on the other you claim that the 'plague' rages on. I am confused.

You might have been in a silly mood or feeling crazy but I don't think it is a silly or crazy poem. I think it is very clever and you've converted the lyric into essential wisdom for these times.

Is the above 'poetry posture' inspired by Oscar Wilde? It so reminds me of a favourite black and white photo of that man which I found in a magazine when I was a teenager. Same tilt of the head and sling of the hips. I still have it framed on a lounge table, years and years and years later. Just a question; the similar 'attitude' made me smile.

I'm looking forward to discovering 'you' for myself.

Interesting how 'sour' or 'bitter' crosses swords with 'sharp' or 'forthright'. It all dependes on 'taste' which dances on a hot, tin roof!

That's an impressive photo on this blog. I will try to catch up with more of your work. I haven't been much on line this past year. Do you know how to build guitars? I get the feeling that if you don't, you'll learn. It would be quite an achievement.

JD.,
Some of the greatest minds were considered insane largely because people could not understand them. To be outspoken or eccentric can add to a person's attraction. We don't all have to be dull conformists. I am a little crazy too but tend to keep it under wraps. When I read your poetry i see an original mind and not a crazy one.

Thank you for this illuminating poem
Keith

not quite. i've always been mad for poetry.
the use of 'acerbic' is two fold in it's meaning.
1. (especially of a comment or style of speaking) sharp and forthright.
2.tasting sour or bitter.
it's a commentary piece on modern art and the degeneration thereof - taking an avant garde approach.

thank you for reading and commenting

This is an amazing 'photo' on your site, basically without gender, despite the long lashes and the dress. Is photogtaphy an interest as another form of 'art'?

What's with 'lower case letters'? Am I missing something currently in vogue about poetical 'awareness'

Note - I certainly agree with the way that walks can produce poetry.
One of my own - "The Galmpton Robin" - was scribbled on an
envelope directly after a November walk beside the River Dart
in South Devon. Perhaps Hardy's "The Darkling Thrush" and
Masefield's "Sea Fever" also came to be written in similar
circumstances? I like to think so.

Thanks for your 'like' on my most recent poem. I like your work too, the 'machinery of your mind'. IMO, the closing lines of this work are superb.

Does the human being actually 'morph into seeds' or soil? Mind or matter? Just asking.

I think the 'circle' is possibly the most illuminating and the most deceptive of all mathematical proofs versus imagination. Comfort or control has always been my conundrum.

Cleansing of the mind you will find beings so pure and true melding into the frequency of love. The temple of resonance where desecration can't birth its existence. The temple of love is in your thoughts and in your every spoken word. your temple sings in your unique glory. The beauty is in the story, on how we arrive.

I recall this same struggle. It is a interesting one. There is a book called the Four Agreements. In it is mentioned a tribe who has identified this process, and they equate it to killing a parasite that is trying to control the mind. It refers to the active conscious mind of said person to be a warrior in this fight. It is the fight of breaking the dream of your first attention(how one was raised) to then create the dream of your second attention by use of the conscious mind.

May the force be with you

Peace

"shall I buy a new guitar. should we drive even more powerful cars. should we work straight through the night. get into fights....... contract disease......... keep people as pets. train dogs respect. buried bones break up homes...... now back to the wall" its all mixed up and in the wrong order and miss alot of great stuff, but it's a great song by Pink Floyd.
