Held sway
The poetry
has fled
Leaving in
its discorded
Wake a vacuum
The forlorn
wailing
Of wind
across its void
The only sign
of its passing
The poetry
has left they’ll say
Through Ignorance
And Contempt
In a world
where Idiocy
Held sway
To be smart
is Bad
To act Dumb
is good
In such a
world how could the poetry
Not wither
away

...Sigh.... Brilliant.
a sad world.
ReplyDeletenicely done chris.
So beautifull worded. Feel some tears coming on :(
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words and so sad.
ReplyDeleteI hope the poetry returns because a
world without poetry would be an empty forlorn place
Poetry has a soul, life after death...read more...poetry of the undead
