Jean Omalley Polatnick Poet Lyric

Saving Grace

SAVING GRACE

In the middle of the universe, I stand
Where it all revolves around man
Selling and consuming disastrous blends 
Burning the candle at both ends 
Neglecting duty, overriding beauty
This story of the ages, never told by sages
Who lived in the bell jar, with the fat cats in the big car
Where small minds, busied and blind 
Lost the human race
NO ONE’S SAVING GRACE!

2.4.15:  J. Polatnick
Submission:  In the Middle of the Universe, I stand

Emile Pinet February 5, 2015 at 10:24 AM The author skillfully brought the reader into the story and we felt comfortable, while entertaining deep thoughts spurred by the author's words. The rhythm worked well here, giving each line an emphases and strengthening the effect it had on the reader. Emile. Jean Omalley Polatnick February 5, 2015 at 11:15 AM Thank you so much, Emile! :)
