Verlena S. Walker Poet Dodoitsu

Of Love of War

of love of war

the staff of a prophet, seen
fairness not imagine, sings
shouting out, obscenity
recognized, yet

in search of fame, seeking stance
the moment arises, seek
of voice of power, godsend
renown supremacy, yet

prophet not acknowledged, kept
desire of a great life, sought
skill of voice, articulate
hardly ever, cheek

no longer free, famous self
seldom bite snarls dogma, link
of country of faith, kinship
all that’s true, fair play

desired fame acknowledged, pent
the home front, covetousness
war or peace love or hate, just
yelp puppy love, nice

Justin Bordner September 29, 2014 at 8:58 PM To seek fame is to search for worth, freedom is beyond recognition, freedom is self respect. Your poem of metaphysical genius provkes this sight in me Verlena. Luxury is an ambush against soul strength. You are such a beautiful oracle Verlena. This poem educates with riddle quality. J.A.B.
