Got the last line, Joe. Expanding the vocabulary 101. Truth is, I got none, but I did, in a roundabout way get the message. You have a great day old friend. Love, daver

Deep thought reality sometimes lets you in, thoughts are deeds, see em pass, across the mind, what a blast, without a hint of sin.... let no evil thought exude, see your sister healthy dude, see aorta shrinking bulge, see it happen , me indulge, cos it can be true, xray says it do, Worked on cousin Alice…. Link her face with trouble too, See her getting better, blue, Thoughts are deeds, the magic place, Within your mind the interface, The helper can be you! Positivity IS our place…. Don Johnson Thank you Joe Maverick….

deeper thoughts, they linger within, reality sometimes lets you in, thoughts are deeds, see em pass, across the mind, what a blast, without a hint of sin....

What great words, had to look up one of them. Sounds like you have pegged humanity with truth in this. We are a strange lot.

Only Minimally Aware [or perhaps this was a jole on medium rare? hmmm] if so very trick! so thought provoking perhaps end where you begin by repeating the first 2 lines? Light & Love

Some would prefer to live their lives in a permanent state of medium awareness just to get away from taking responsibility. I enjoyed your thought provoking write Joe ;) enjoy the weekend ;D

Hi Joe, I think we all live our lives "only medium aware" most of the time. If we were fully aware we'd probably be depressed most of our lives. In your normal fashion... thank you for your awakening message! Great write... Lay

"Only medium aware today...Medium Happy"...I don't think there's anything 'middle of the road' with your thinking, Robert! I suppose society will moon whatever it feels as inappropriate. Sometimes peaceful expressions= downright anarchy, thus becoming "insidiously tragic"? I'm probably off track, there's no poetical GPS in here. Best wishes!!! Mikki

Joe, if I were to think of the world this way, I probably wouldn't want to get out of bed in the morning. It's a very powerful poem with much truth behind it, but I am trying to stay focused on the positive aspects of life. Certainly can relate to these feelings, though. Guess you were glad to be "only medium aware." It's great to see you posting new work! Love, Carolyn

Hi Joe-You had me and my 16 yr old looking up these definitions to confirm we got the gist. Nice couplet with a deep message yet a play on word too. Did u mean for the 2nd lines in each group to also have parentheses around them? I love poems like this..it's been a while since I have read any postings...keep em coming. They are great!
