    Can you hear the increasing drum of discontent from within?

    SONGS OF A RENEGADE
    Like  a  snowstorm  in  summer time
    Examining  discrepancies  indiscreetly
    Yelling  out  loud  in  the  middle  of  movies
    Moving  on  without  known  pride  nor  glory
    All  for  the  sake  of  reading  a  different  story
    Portraying  the  villain  in  a  chorus  of  unanimity
    Born  to  a  state  of  interrupted  uniformity
    Remaining  silent  in  a  choir  of  voices  similarly  singing
    As  I  renege  on  the  sights  I  see  and sounds  I  hear
    Fearful  of  complacency,  sends   me  racing  from  thee
    Never  to  return  to  the  cauldron  of  like  minded   humanity
    Happy  and  naked  in  haste  of  undressing   ubiquity
    My  individuality  is  complete  in  anonymity
    Like  the  wind,  I’m  unimpeded  from  roaming
    Able   to  climb  up   and  down   mountains
    As  I  blow  over  oceans,  leaving  waves  in  wake
    Moving  clouds  in  sight  to  cover  both  sun  and   moon
    Singing  my  whistling  song  of  difference  in  mood
    Perpetually  counter  clockwise   movements  and  actions
    Obscuring   views   to  picturesque  untruths  in  shroud
    I  remain  lonely  and  uncovered,  but  in  self  I am  found
    In  the  depths  of  thinking  outside  the  box
    Melodic  rhythms  yet  to  be  sung  or  hummed  
    Played  out  serendipitously  down  the  line
    A   penalty  of  a   gift  of  which  comes  first
    To  be  undiscovered,  unknown  and  misunderstood
    Proven  to  be  right  at  a  date  yet  determined
    Keeps  me  sojourning  through  time  and  space
    Enjoying  the  Journey  and  Teaching  to  soon  be  reaching
    Masses  in  matter of  fact(ly)  speaking  and  singing  in
    The  Songs  of  the  Renegade!!!

    Your poem shouts to be heard. It says a lot, has meaning. Out spoken very well done. Good job.

    Thought provoking is an understatement. Perpetual mind candy.

    Thanks for commenting (smile)

    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.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
