Notes About The Poem

Senseless

Through the shallows,
Through the depths,
The muck and the mire,
With trembling limbs
I succor the dying,

Strip the layers naked...
A conceit of consciousness
In psychic awareness,
I repute the repudiated
Caught in a self made web
Of hubris, malevolent envy.

Wrath projected...as a
Boomerang, must return.
Ashes back to ashes is
The only transformation
Derived in sustained purgatory.

Vladislav Raven August 9, 2016 at 7:01 PM Hi Connie, this is a very deep, well thought out piece of poetry. There is so much excellent content in this piece Connie. This is one of those special writes when no worfd i write can actually express how brilliant it is. This being the case Connie, i say this is an excellent write, it is going into my faves and it is definitely a seven. Hugs....Mike. XX

Daver Austin July 29, 2016 at 10:05 AM Does it always come down to Karma? Calling on Jesus might only stir the ashes. Deep stuff, Connie. Love, DAve

Kai Michael Neumann July 24, 2016 at 9:08 AM 'Sustained purgatory' and conceit of consciousness', I like that. Also 'reputing the repudiated. Senselessness made sense through reflection. Just enough sense start some transformation. Well written. Connie Marcum Wong July 25, 2016 at 12:48 PM Thank you very much Kai.; )

Nette Onclaud July 19, 2016 at 1:02 PM a shattered cry which hits the very core of inhumanity, and makes me feel your grit... brilliant, visceral, connie!... huggs

Jesse Day July 19, 2016 at 4:01 AM I admire the thought you put into this piece. Lots of innocent people dying from the selfish hands of those seeking harm for what is shameless and unjustified. Adding this to my favorite list. Jesse Connie Marcum Wong July 19, 2016 at 10:23 AM Thank you so very much for making this poem a favorite Jesse. I really appreciate your your insightful comment. : )Aloha, Connie
