This Irony As You

Living within a matrix society where one percent of it's children gather.. Ninety plus perhaps, of this lands wealth ? Again, the paradox fiery trials Attached unto a heart their faith; believing as knowing that there are reasons These seasons and for all things aneath while about the sun ? Be they wise Words engaging secular skies; mingling amid tomorrow's temporal tides.... The mantra in a baby's tears lynching dreams; hollow, plastered upon your walls ? How shall we turn then to escape rise above disentangle ourselves from such Blood soaked hands this, mere man ? Turning daughters unto whores sons Into bastards while gazing through these tinted highrise windows the establishment Surely of your shame ? Fanning winds in oppression pinning voodoo dolls to your lapels.

A very deep poem painted with many picture...Hmmn laden with many layers and meanings. "The mantra in a baby's tears lynching dreams" strong line with deep symbolic meaning. Thank you for commenting on my work. You remind of another poet...Rachel Cross

This verse is very deeply written. It was fast moving when I read it and alot of vivid imagery from start to finish. At times, it is difficult to grasp all that a fellow writer expresses. I am sure I haven't... I still struggle a little with massive vocabulary, though over the years it is much better. and btw, was no big deal about the mail, I simply said in it, that I had heard some time back through the course of commenting you that you had been ill and I hope that your health is good. Loveya
