    Creating Controls

     And Evil I could be
    If I believed in negative creation
    Illusion touches undersides
    Behind the veil of happenstance
    The reaching, screaming, every breath
    The obvious and right before

    I cannot connect these circuits
    Redesign to circumvent
    Conditioning is iron cast
    To bow is mine and beg for better
    Reach between my eyelids
    Remove the weakness bleeding out

    A membrane of addiction
    A mishapen gland
    Unfortunate infection
    Useless fluid collection
    Drains into a humid breeze
    How human we can be

    Housed in cages stays the statement
    Simple beauty as a cure
    For swollen, needing hedonism
    Please forgive them
    All that necessary is
    A number, One, before all others

    One my friend is great indeed, in need of two to ever become three. Adding one to 13 see, produces 91 steps indeed, x 4 = 364 and one more to make the suns shine. Watch now too... Starting at Two to 13, now becomes a quarter square, leaving us a 90 degree angle there. :) Love your writing style, never be anything but your original wonderful expressive self. My OP. Hugs! Thanks for the friendship.

    Thank you back! This is the coolest comment I have ever gotten. By Far. If everyone could communicate this way walls would be doorknobs. This made my day.

    Evil is the underlying condition of man. If beauty helps this, I love it but it is the the # ONE before all others. Interesting read.

    Impressive collection of phrases. I fully gathered the message that you offer through this piece. You are extremely clear and also able to maintain a level of interest throughout. I hope I don't sound like your english professor :)) Great Job!

    Thank you so much Jade. This poem is deeply personal for me, and I felt a little self conscious about posting it. I almost deleted it afterwords, simply because it is so different from my other stuff in several ways. I almost felt like it was too revealing. Thanks for liberating me from that hang up. No, you did not sound like that professor at all, LOL, THANKS AGAIN!!!

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
