Dementia In Add Minor

Give me some methylphenidate So I can concentrate Electrical impulses and chemicals mixed into one All of that is called memories for some Random people without faces Roaming around in my mind Leaving their muddy foot print traces Like souvenirs behind This dementia is a blessing So people shouldn’t be stressing For my train of thought Can’t be caught For rational irrationality Is no longer part of me

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.

hmm I would say irattionality is the only solid remaining part of a demented person? I too have thought fondly on ocassions of the relief of forgetting BUT frgetting how to find HOME or a loved ones face is unbearable. Congrad's on your poetic success. Light & Love

Interesting write on a hush-hush subject Pieter. Dementia is a facet of life that cannot be wished away. Love the phrase 'rational irrationality', Nice!
