Kai Michael Neumann Poet Free verse

Slow Death

With ifs and buts she lived in an illusion of future

When this and when that in a prison of dishonesty

But her life happens here and now is the essence or

Else present dysfunction merely awaits one final call

Charles Messina January 17, 2020 at 10:03 PM No doubt "If" is the biggest question. but "But" will always be the biggest question mark, even "If" it's the last call.. :) Great poem, Kai Kai Michael Neumann January 18, 2020 at 3:08 AM Thank you Charles. I love in Spain now and in the Spanish language, they even put an extra question mark in front of the question. Kind wishes, Kai

Lady Labyrinth January 17, 2020 at 4:08 AM Lots of ifs and buts abound in life and within the pages of this consomme; we're all going through a death of sorts, are we not? Transformation; is this not the process of a writer as well? Food for thought. The collective humanity, is dysfunctional. Kai Michael Neumann January 17, 2020 at 7:27 AM Thank yo Lady Labyrinth. Life is a maze and only we can find our path. Kind wishes, Kai
