Independent

with nothing buckled down voices clash in debate-angry lured into playground fury independent thought spinning the air overlapping like the puzzle pieces of poetry words in a labyrinth voices of proclamation boundary pushing clashing against a wall of not listening when independent thought trumpets its sheen of self creation but looses itself in the formless rage of "I am right" justification

The problem is and will always be, is the fact that most people think they are always right (except the crooked politicians, of course) but then again...aren't they all crooked.(lol) Sorry it took so long to get to read some of your poetry. Hope all is well, my friend. Stay well...Charlie

Hello Charles, thank you for your stop by and for commenting on my poetry. There is rigidity in thought + presentation when arguing politically. I have been guilty of such intransigence myself. Open mindedness is certainly a worthy goal. Be well. Brian

With profound insight and contemplation, Brian, you have crafted a magnificent poem. Engaging in discourse with the obstinate "I am Right" faction is an exercise in futility, as eloquently expressed in his words. The mastery of his composition is undeniable.

Hi Sara, Thank you for your vote of confidence. My poem wasn't popular in the contest, but a placement is preferable to an NA. Be well. All the best, Brian

You cannot debate with the "I am Right" crowd; well written; congratulations.
