Trouble
Trouble is , very few have
truly believed
over the centuries ;
mostly it has been : “maybe”
or “might as well”.
It can`t be otherwise of course ,
the way life is .
But default positions , accumulated ,
find inevitable roots ,
swell up into practical power .
And this has blanketed all
unnamed yearnings
and ungrasped meanings ,
subverted poetry , music , and such ;
impoverished each day`s newness
and possibilities ,
over the centuries .
Poets , songsters , even scientists
have succumbed ,
turned saints .
What do I do ?
as I traverse each day
with my own paltry contrivances ,
unsupported by help from history ;
except fill up with this
enormous rage ,
and outrage .
Let go of the rage.
ReplyDeleteTrouble is, I wait for many to
ReplyDeletetruly believe
Define your own maybe and the might as well
Not the way life is; make life your way
Yes the roots are so deeply wedged
but find the strength to uproot it
Flow with the yearnings and the the desires
the sins of your strength will uproot other lives though!!
History will not help you
Neither will sainthood
your rage is really a question
why is it so important to be part of history anyways!!!

No, no, no ! I dont give a damn about history , or faith ,or sainthood or such . It is about getting through each day -- without any support except my own abilities...which are poor.
ReplyDeleteWhy should one judge one's ability all the time. Be easy about life. Let things flow.Let life be lived in an uncomplicated way.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm poor Abilities ...well the ability to get impressionist minds introduced to zen & art of....; ability to tread less chosen paths and inspire some of us to want to do that; ability to view the world in a easy forgiving way albeit with a smirk; ability to be so individualistic and diffft and wow so many of us wanting to be a bit like u ...those I remembr..couldnt hav changed so much..will check it out for sure this time when we meet again..
