the poetry industry
where hearts have become commodities
and pure love is now an oddity
we are the prodigies of our words
begging to be heard
by any soul
that may create the illusion
of us feeling whole
we seek to fill our man-made voids
relationships
like toys
tinkered with
and tossed
we seduce our own minds
till all humanity is lost
to the rhythm of delusion
we succumb
to intoxicating profusion
of false gods
our egos
we stroke
invoke
praise
held in a delirious daze
until death
I just wanted to tell you that I simply loved this poem.

ReplyDeleteThank you both very much. I am 35 now and have been writing since I was 8. I wrote my first poem at the age of 5. It was about having a baby sister. I feel very blessed to have you all to share my words with. This incredible journey wouldn't be the same without all of you. God bless. :)
ReplyDeleteevery word you have put into existence here, has been known to me as truth for some time now. It's almost funny, the ways we seek validation, and in doing so lose awareness to the raw power of what we're creating. We might be called poets, but we are the mystics of our time.
