M.I.A.

M.I.A.

The pendulum swings
towards memory's inseams
Turning remembrance
into a poison-tipped dagger.
 
The blind stare
of so many desperate eyes
looks hard but won't realize
that it will never come to see.
 
Their severed reach
can't ever succeed
in grasping the spirit
of your precious sacrifice.

Very moving, insightful, well done. You could easily make a career out of this if you chose to do so.

A short and powerful piece, Alex. Well thought out.

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
