    • 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.

    :) you truly saw this through my eyes. thank you. so much

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
