We are no longer civilized
we have become whores;
loud crowing animals
weighted by ego
and we call it rebellion.
And not that those of
other times, bore not pride,
but rather presented it as
fine words, like garnish
on a silver platter- candor
written in literary pages with
spines of different stature.
Unlike the modern swash
where boast spits from
foul and arrogant tongue
and parades on television
faking reality for fame
and the more gross,
the more they are celebrated.

Oh my goodness, Kellie, you’ve been stealing my thoughts! I so empathise with you in this gentle rant.
“We are no longer civilized

Such a telling line “and we call it rebellion” and killer title.
“..and parades on television
faking reality for fame
and the more gross,
the more they are celebrated.”
Oh I so agree! Pithy and wonderfully observant.
Thank you for the kind words. I was hesitant about posting this for two reasons. One being obviously fear of what some might say about it and the other because I feel I abandoned it mid thought. I really could have written something epic had I allowed myself to fully indulge in my ideas on the subject. Maybe another will come soon
A poem, like a work of art, is never finished, only abandoned
. For me, you should leave it as it is, Kellie, but I know what you mean, particularly I, who am noted for epic diatribes! But I love the sentiment of this piece.
Powerful and, sadly, all too true.
Oh My Gosh! It’s my Charlie!!!! I have missed seeing you around!!!!
Oh, sure you did! You’re so busy, I bet you didn’t realize I was gone til I popped up again. Kind of like the missing mole in the whack-a-mole game. One on the bottom right. Then you come back and there the critter is. Pops up and makes ya scream. You backhand him and there ya go; he’s broke again.
Actually that is not the case at all. To be honest, I thought I lost you during the election due to our differences, and I was afraid to reach out to you lol
Don’t be skeert. I might not agree with you on some things, but I still appreciate your talent. All that other stuff don’t really matter when you get right down to it.
Wow – what a very powerful word… powerful and true. Thanks for your boldness in sharing this word of truth.
God bless you,
Cheryl
