    Poem Commentary

    My mind still continued to flow amidst this rainstorm I gaze upon outside my window...Just a prose set upon the page.....

    The Calamity of Conformity.......

     Some say the end is near....
    Some say we lack the gratitude...
    I certainly hope we will...
    I should have used my vacation from this...wanton...wanting
    Freeing rain....absent the lack of quaint disdain.

    Free...surrender...hope is coming....hope is falling away
    The only way to thirst is to push it all away
    Any circling time....any wandering way
    Jaded to conformity's breathtaking array
    Learn to swim as waves are falling....drowning all our ways.

    Some say a comet will fall from the sky
    Followed by earthquakes, tornadoes, and tidal waves
    Some throw out other things....can I set still
    As the coming storm we crave
    Crazed amongst the simple.

    This circus, sideshow, reprieved reign
    Moniker of my mind within contained
    The only way to taint it is to push this all away
    Victim....eyes....shall not be enslaved
    Anytime...any chains...broken all the same.

    Some say the end is near...
    Some say we'll see armageddon soon...
    I certainly hope we will...
    I should have used my vacation from this...
    Bag of listless faces convinced thus...

    I have a suggestion to keep yourselves occupied
    Sink or swim...hope..befriend
    For soon...within...self...amends
    Bends beyond trends
    To find what's in self again.....

    Well stated and, indeed, time draws nigh for humans, but it will not come from on high; from earthquakes, meteors or others on you list; it will come from our own hand and a nuclear mist. Our President's nightmare as he goes to sleep each night. It is the one call he fears; he dreads that thousands and thousand lay dead and the begin of his worst fright.

    [Bends beyond trends To find what's in self again.....] - yes sir. When uniqueness follows another uniqueness its no longer uniqueness is it? Vivid journey man. I like how you broke up some of the sentences. Gave it that lyrical quality. Making the poem itself.........unique. I find life beautiful in its uniqueness. And I get inspired by what uniqueness can create. Keep creatin man......

    Wow Altair! This is great, This is always a powerful subject line - leaves one with much to ponder and reflect on. The end is near or so the bible and prophets state. If it is believed, then one must make peace with themselves. Awesome prose bud! :) Ken ......Oh btw .. I have 2 older posts (both song lyrics) that deal with this subject as well. if your interested. http://www.originalpoetry.com/fountains-of-flame and http://www.originalpoetry.com/desolation-of-the-damned

    thanks my friend, that brings a smile as I prepare to go to clinicals for the day, I remember desolation of the damned very well, i will check them both out when I return home today. Once again ken, thank you

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
