Inside the Head

I have something to say These days I don’t pray As painters paint the sun grey The waters don’t caress the bay. Light or dark whatever we follow With gay faces hiding minds hollow Tranquilizers seem best to swallow As the world looks fine and mellow Lovers don’t vow each other’s trust Love is driven by the wing of lust As flesh and bone dissolve in dust It is better to live as metal-cast The fog, the mist, inside the head Destroys the sleep while in bed Men becoming so power-fed Deep within we all are dead

These are deep waters, Jhinuk. Some wise words about light, love, death, society, and greed for power. I am so happy to see you posting again after your 6 month break. I have often come to your page to look for new poems and was pleased to receive your kind comment at my page today. Blessings to you in 2021 ~ John
