Poem Title:
Poem
"Poeta Nascitur Non Fit" Hated decades ago Accepted a decade ago Glorified now To the extent of what we are horrified by Painted tainted enlarged adjusted Altered lessened sculpted tatted A misrepresentation of our creative space Now you are different if you are not And the crowd screams, "Vive La Difference"! As oath breakers call upon the Now Learning lessons learned in the fog To make the fog lace We were under dressed anyway And at odds with peace Waiting for options That are fail safe Hic et nune...Hic et ubique gardez la foi Vox populi...Vox Dei Gardez la foi Or trouble will come which will leave us asking "Where did we go wrong?" Quie'n Sabe? Forgetting forgot to forget what to forgive and who not to and so here we are In a state of constant acceptance consumed by society's need to remain the same in a constant state of change Yet we are forewarned... Not to be physically immoral Not to be thieves Not to be greedy Not to be wrong But we deceive ourselves and submit We disease ourselves and admit it and live through it and say, "it's right" when we know it's wrong. Do you remember when we couldn't act like what we weren't Or be who we were not?? We play with destiny and it's forbidden activity like climbing a latter with broken arms Lean forward step light Listen hard It ain't even real to be real no more so why try if you ain't It ain't even real to be real no more Now it's real to be fake.
