Brian Sambourne Poet Free verse

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

Charles Messina July 11, 2023 at 3:57 AM 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 Brian Sambourne July 11, 2023 at 5:53 AM 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

Sotto Poet July 8, 2023 at 6:04 AM 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. Brian Sambourne July 11, 2023 at 5:47 AM Greetings Lasaad, You are most generous in your assessment of my poetry. Thank you for your views on my posting. With appreciation, Brian

Sara Kendrick July 8, 2023 at 2:51 AM I really like that last line in which it helps explain anyone participation in an argument. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara Brian Sambourne July 8, 2023 at 5:57 AM 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

Terry Miller July 7, 2023 at 4:19 AM You cannot debate with the "I am Right" crowd; well written; congratulations. Brian Sambourne July 7, 2023 at 6:31 AM Hi Terry, Very true. You hit an impermiable wall. Thank you for stop by + comment. Be well. Brian
