Rotate Consciousness 2

Give with one hand, take back more with the other 
     Love your spouse, whilst lusting after another
       Surrender to evil, after good’s domination 
                     (Rotate consciousness)
        Hold dear peace, before wars annihilation 
    Truth needs evidence, lies requiring not a trace 
 Break the mirror of unity, see separation in your face

I Am Anaya Date: 6/19/2023 1:08:00 PM "Hold dear peace, before wars anayalation" Mankind must put an end to war - or war will put an end to mankind-- John F. Kennedy I've flopped a few times with US contests, I found that the ones I listed were uplifting poems with God loves as an ending, mind bending. My "Refining Consciousness" is proof (a flop). Yours is a thought provoking piece, David Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 6/19/2023 2:55:00 PM I think this one flopped too with US Anaya, the original one I wrote got POTD, it worked so well as a tanka, but I never entered it into the contest, because it didn’t address his line of enquiry, my own downfall is writing for myself, and not for the sponsors in contests, cheers David

Christopher Flaherty Date: 11/20/2022 2:05:00 PM Again Sir Well if you ever run out of N/A Ive got a hole cabinet full I think that's my ghost writers pseudonym name Little or no consolation but i thought it was a deserving winner David Kavanagh Date: 11/20/2022 1:14:00 PM Thanks Christopher, but didn’t make the cut Seeker gave me an N/A, ah well that’s what I get for parodying with my first post, cheers David

Tom Cunningham Date: 11/11/2022 11:45:00 AM I suppose as we go through life we shift from one to the other eventually realising where we want to be leaving that negative outlook on life behind us. Good luck David and enjoy your weekend. Tom Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 11/11/2022 12:26:00 PM Indeed Tom, outlooks can rotate either way, but hey we’re only human, open to all the frailties and egos of man, have a great weekend, cheers David

Sotto Poet Date: 11/11/2022 10:16:00 AM David, you have written such a beautiful poem. You addressed the concerns of polarity and rotating consciousness in a very obvious and precise way. In fact, the cornerstone for everyone is their own ego. People are inclined to pursue anything they get their hands on without giving any thought to the concepts of honesty and ethics. Best wishes for the contest Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 11/11/2022 11:31:00 AM Thank you Lasaad, you’re absolutely right I purposely went for the obvious and precise, I’m not sure if the seeker wants more elaborate debate in the contest, but this way I felt directly addressed and rotated his pointers, in my mind anyway, ah ego man’s greatest weakness and strength, in balance of course cheers David
