Internal Inhibition

Internal inhibition is a virtue of the day,
A conscientious calling to be true in every way,
A vision of decision in the things you say and do,
Internal inhibition is a moral issue too,

In spite of what you think of it you have to face the fact,
Internal inhibition is the fiction you subtract,
The urgency emergency of agency remains,
The subtle way that surgency is summoning your brains,

You may have thought your feelings were the first to be explored, 
The primacy of dealings with a stranger you ignored,
The notion of emotion is a cautionary state,
A stage of locomotion with a customary wait,

The modesty of wisdom is a wonder to behold,
A coat of many colors with a condom in the fold,
No matter what the wonder in your functionality,
Internal inhibition is your cloak of honesty.

Bryan, I may have said this before but I'm going to say this again: your poetry is superb. The themes, cadence..its all spot on. For the life of me I don't understand why you don't get pages of people praising your work. Your bubble of illusion poem should have been a winner in my opinion. As much as I love Poetry Soup I am forever frustrated by it too. Please keep writing and don't be deterred by the lack of responses. You are a great poet. Cheers - Gary
