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
