Protective Lyricism For the Ages Part One

Protective Lyricism for the Ages Part One

In awe of Bob Dylan’s poetic creations 
The war of the villains eccentric provocations 
The score of penicillin for preventative medications 
The law of premonitions filled with the Holiest vibrations 

Refusal to compromise when faced with an ethical question 
The commercially incentivised disgrace of advertisements ill-intentions
The indisputable power of a loving embrace when the refurbishments aren’t up to the standards of new inventions 
The irrefutable cower of a man without grace when the admonishments he faced are beyond redemption 

A placement of perfection by William Wordsworth in his sleep 
The boy who cried wolf when he lied about the safety of his sheep 
The friend who transcends proof, one so pure you just have to treasure and keep
A challenge from a sleuth so obscure that you’re forced to take an original leap 

A visionary that’s borderline scary as the invocations constantly vary
Some people are wary of what they do not understand 
Some view complexity as quite contrary as it flows from the palm of my hand 
I’m an honorary poetic canary singing what might be viewed as illuminary perspectives on which I will take a stand 

But humility prevents me from accepting this undeserved title
As the human races need for pure oxygen becomes vital 
You won’t see me at a self-promoting poetry recital 
As I hide behind my anonymity I’ve died a thousand times and need a personal revival 

A sigh of profound exhalation and meaning 
From a soul that resounds in contemplation and dreaming 
The story’s told by the rounds of improvisation expressed through sunlight beaming 
While I’m growing old and stifling the sounds of my terror, fears and screamings 

To be continued next post…
