Notes About The Poem

Consciousness

All this global speech that once lauded your greatness has vanished.
My lips are crying today because of my misdeeds.
The harvest was completely washed away in the high winds.
Diseases and sicknesses, with fire, threaten scavengers. 

Because I am shy, I cry slowly and sloppily.
If someone's feelings are bruised, a wipe may be beneficial. 
Companions with crooked mustaches. 
Backstabbing and spying are both kinds of treachery.

Who grasps what happened to the planet Earth. 
Shame no longer benefits them, so why would they desire it?
An anxious atmosphere pervaded the air. 
I'm here to assist you, and I'm grateful to God for this gift. 

A natural area has been cordoned off.
The headbands must be reconnected. 
Probe the misanthrope and share the etch news.
The sand on the road will cease if they reach their home.

If I yield barefoot, my final inference is consciousness.

Victor Buhagiar July 3, 2021 at 10:12 PM Since the beginning of time, man learned how to cheat and murder. We have still much to learn. Lovely poem. Sotto Poet July 4, 2021 at 7:22 AM That is correct, dear friend; we have become even smarter than the devil; I'm not sure if the devil will require us to accomplish any more strangeness.Have a great day.

Tom Cunningham July 3, 2021 at 1:56 PM A powerful verse Lasaad, you're right about the treachery and backstabbing, mankind has taken a wrong turn somewhere, but we live in hope. Tom Sotto Poet July 3, 2021 at 2:25 PM Thank you very lot, Tom. I appreciate your lovely sentiments; however, humanity has taken a wrong path, wreaking havoc on many people's lives. Happy 4th, enjoy your long weekend, my good friend

L Milton Hankins July 3, 2021 at 12:48 PM I was thinking about my homeland while reading your poem, Lasaad. Interesting images came to mind throughout. Sotto Poet July 3, 2021 at 1:22 PM I'm happy you like my poetry, Milton; sadly, we're all dealing with backstabbing and treachery; I believe this kind of conduct has to be corrected for the sake of greater consciousness. Have a good 4th of July weekend.

Pashang Salehi July 3, 2021 at 12:02 PM Indeed but what is consciousness? awakened maybe... too much pain is everywhere... take my hand, I want to break the cage. Sotto Poet July 3, 2021 at 1:31 PM Thank you so much, Pashang, for the comment; that was as enlightening as physical pain can be. We must all break through the barriers and join our hands. Best regards
