Notes About The Poem

Poetry Nirvana




Let us not be fools and pretend this planet won’t implode,
Beneath a mosaic ceiling, writing in a grand poetry dome!


Where ethics and morality are shoved in an oaken drawer?
And with relief and a sigh, we want to see them, never more.


Let’s, above all, not look at the enemies at our very gates..
Villainous citizens, with anti-freedom masks, covering their faces and pates!


Vague traces of hope where censorship fully shines, tis the rule for fools.
That’s how civilizations crumble, and only fools , observe do, get to rule.


We jaunt with pens in gleeful play, and look firmly, the other way, 
Woebegone poets, losing, quite willingly, our freedoms everyday.


Pen thee then. only of laughter and fun, never of reality, lost
poet ones?
Adore the lies from Tik-Tok, social media, fake news and yet the
wars in our countries have already begun.


We walk streets already riotous, violent and on fire,
But hide we in our grand poetry dome, a most deadly desire!


Outside the dome, others, too, cover their ears, eyes and vacant hearts.
Selfish, who care not who was harmed, nor what souls this day will depart!


A write like thiis, will few comments will ever see.
Please know I never pen, stricly for the glorificatiion of me


In a world that is being lied to from dawn to starlight…..
An ineffective poet I would be, hiding truth’s existential light!

Expression should be free of censorship especially when one is creating poetry. This piece was very well done.

Not sure which is worse-being oblivious or being duped. We must be vigilant. :)

Dear friend Linda! Having been on this planet a long time I have recived more than my share of both! What matters more, is who you are to others. It hurts each time. Being trusting, sets me up. I cannot change others. Jusr myself. Love you, Pangie xx

Hey Panagiota, Your amazing poem is a powerful call to awaken from complacency. Your words pierce through the veil of illusion, urging us to confront harsh realities. Your poetic voice echoes with truth and urgency, Calling us to engage our collective responsibility. Keep shining the light of truth through your pen—it’s a beacon of courage and insight. - Blessings, Daniel

Hi Daniel. Welcome to my room ,so to speak.))). Anyway, what a earthshaking comment ! Sometimes I feel that people don’t get the impact of what I’m saying ~they think it’s just words and is not.. You got it!! In spades! I don’t write much silly stuff because I see no point in it and by the way, I’m not good at it so it seems my fave poems are romance, humanity, spirituality, yes and the survival of the human race.. not popular topics here.but am saying how I feel! feel.! I know what it’s like to live through a life pleasing other people. And I called that…. no life.!Will visit you tomorrow as I’m not feeling well tonight…Welcome here. bright one . Pangie xx

Thank you Hilda.. its very hard to feign being positive when today, we are fighting back the killersbin the Middle East..we are way too late. But we most believe in a positive outcome. It may be a tome to time to turn the news off and so something foor for anyone. I love comedy but I cant laugh in the midst of horror of any kng. You make the world livable. Thank you. Pangie xx

Reminds me of Nero playing his harp whilst Rome burned, oblivious to what was going on in the outside world. They'd rather believe fake news and Tik Tok rather than write about the real issues in life. Tom

I agree with you on all points. Biden is demented and the country loves fake news Our a judges are insane. There is no rule of law here.. immigrants beat up the police and get a pass. They walk into this country and get a cell phone and thousands of dollar.. Insane.. but only Biden but I have the countries playing a fiddle. Pretending everything is OK.. We’re about to become a communist country. And no, I’m not gonna. Pangie xx

Love your term 'poetry dome'! It seems like it can have more than one meaning. You poetically describe the 'planned' craziness going on. Those crazy central bankers and their warlords are pulling out many, but probably not all the stops yet. Until they can retain control of the money in all it's forms, they won't stop.

David, being the creative poet you are,I can see why you can perceive ‘dome ‘with two meanings,_))). I just saw a program about the money,wow! In the wrong hands= piles of dead bodies! These warlords will be in safe spaces when the nukes fly or any armaments. What about animals, big or small or pets! Better store up on cheese for my cat.LOL. And for our families! There are evil men and women worlwide! Pangie xx Controls on us are well under established. I am aware of their unique plans to seize money.

Hi Regina, Thank you for such a generos comment.. there was a time in my life when I was a mouse and timid, i find no joy in not expressing myself. To be one of the “crowd” is the loneliest place on earth. Seeking approval is deadly for me. I know Ispeak for me only,))I prefer to challenge and question. I seelk the depths of my being! Pangie xx
