Breathe the Funk

Why is it so hard to be human now?
How the door close in?
The face turns flaxen
As you imitate
And your secret joke
Of wild monkeys
Rises like a hopping child
Boredom rests as wounded thoughts
Breathe the funk
And take mad the carpet!

I like this one Matt. Life is sometimes like a "mad" ride on the "magic" carpet. I guess it's because "monkey see. Monkey do...." and evolutionary theory made man the biggest monkey of them all. And I ask, Why was God taken out of the beauty of life. It is so FUNKY without Him. You've written another thought provoking poem... I enjoyed thinking and sharing. Thank you. Lovingly, Dane Ann
