Millard Lowe Poet Ode

Notes About The Poem

 

A CONCENTRIC ODE TO APATHY

 

Urgent is the will,

The self is as still as the night;

Apathy controlling;

Urgency calling, 

The will remains imprisoned;

And apathy, keyless;

Urgency calling,

Apathy, shedding useless tears;

Fear controlling action:-

 

Genesis begins all,

Revelation ends it all;

Life dwells in between:-

Apathy is like a cold stone

Nestling in the mud;

Decision, like a swing in the wind;

Action roars like a lion,

And races like a waterfall

Roaring to its destiny;

 

Cold stones are no match

For angry sledgehammering chaos,

And in sunlight, mud dries and crusts over:-

Life should be woven

In a web of love, netting all

In a beehive of togetherness;

 

Indeed, there is no apathy 

In the lives of hiving bees;

They live in onederful oneness:-

Let us strive to live life

In conscientious, concentric,

Cosmic onement;

Let us strive to live life, 

Void of all senses of neglected apathy;

Let’s choose to be as bees, not as the mud:-

 

A CONCENTRIC ODE TO APATHY

Urgent is the will,
The self is as still as the night;
Apathy controlling;
Urgency calling, 
The will remains imprisoned;
And apathy, keyless;
Urgency calling,
Apathy, shedding useless tears;
Fear controlling action:-

Genesis begins all,
Revelation ends it all;
Life dwells in between:-
Apathy is like a cold stone
Nestling in the mud;
Decision, like a swing in the wind;
Action roars like a lion,
And races like a waterfall
Roaring to its destiny;

Cold stones are no match
For angry sledgehammering chaos,
And in sunlight, mud dries and crusts over:-
Life should be woven
In a web of love, netting all
In a beehive of togetherness;

Indeed, there is no apathy 
In the lives of hiving bees;
They live in onederful oneness:-
Let us strive to live life
In conscientious, concentric,
Cosmic onement;
Let us strive to live life, 
Void of all senses of neglected apathy;
Let’s choose to be as bees, not as the mud:-
