A poem that is a reaction to the beliefs and attitudes one sees in the world. |
Black and white are antonymous they say, But black and white are melting into each other forming an indiscernible gray Good, bad, black, white, similar, opposite, what is this play? He said there is a vast field beyond this barren, befuddling clay That is his abode, his stay And that if i want, i would find him there But is it even fair? And then again, what is fair? Should I even care for what is fair? Again the eternal mystery of the antonyms But what I don’t understand is, is there a land with two kings? I have only seen just a single entity ruling Sometimes guiding, sometimes fooling Opposites are just a smoke screen i tell you To hide from the eye what is just and true These bedeviling antonyms are the very box where we all reside Where we sneak in at birth and then forever hide But now this box is reeking with the smell of the rotting carcasses And the smell won’t go with just a few dainty splashes. It is time to bury the box of the antonyms And say whatever is necessary, dirges or hymns. And then tune our ears to the unheard melodies Sung each second by the invisible breeze We must not gag it, we must not tease All that is left to do is just please. Please, oh please, we must please. |
