Roselyn Wanjohi Poet I do not know?

It Confuses Me

It confuses me when you claim
   to understand what i want
yet you are the one who hardens 
  my life and makes me go mad

It confuses me when you say
   that you love and cherish them
yet you hurl insults and beat them up
   without even pitying their dear lives

It confuses me when you laugh,praise me
    and show loyalty when im with you
but talk crap about me to anyone
   you will come across

It confuses me when you shed painful tears
    and lament because of injustice
yet you are the one who remains behind
    when we are all sharpening our swords for war

It confuses me when you call yourself
    blessed and God fearing
yet you are the same one who walks in the dark
   stealing from the poor and plotting evil against people

Ovidiu Bocsa October 22, 2016 at 12:59 PM Yes, there are a lot of ambiguities in our life, behavior, deeds, philosophy,sciences, faith and great expectations...Kind of negative dialectics (present in your poem, too) could let us understand that logic is not enough...Feelings are not enough...Theodor W. Adorno speaks about ”cultural industry”, failure of reason proved by the greatest troubles of mankind) times. His Imperative is to resist to the temptation of goods.
