Resistance

It's a term coined
for the times

propelled by actions
ceremoniously indulged

whimsically by the populace.
It's growing daily,

masses in tune
bubbling to surface

rife with rebellion.
Senseless conventions

imposed by the machine,
discrepancies enlightened

with blinding rays
of rationality

superimposed upon circumstances.
Keeping up the fight

against all odds
baffling to mindfulness

as they scramble to react
to tides of mistrust.

Frank, your poem speaks for our times. People have always been followers. Easily drawn to charismatic personalities . On both sides of an issue. And easy to manipulate to turning against others. Mark Twain. Said it best "same damn fools " Persian Sufi poets are credited with the saying "this to shall pass " Poets are not easily manipulated, your not a 2 dimensional thinker. I see that in your writing. Thank you for chronicling these times, and for rising above, the crowd

Tides of miss trust? Some people are working on the miss trust, so they can get on with their life. Have a nice day my new friend.
