Notes About The Poem

The men of clay They have no heart They say Their eyes are blind Not smart Galmi Like me

The men of clay Move slow and mute Look grey Their ears are deaf Transmute Galmi With plea

Galmi = Golem

The Men of Clay - Galmi

He walks, hardly touching earth,
His arms provoke cerulean sky 
As wings about to try and fly:
Raising a new eternal bird.
                                  A swan, yet not about to die
                                  Instead a phoenix in disguise
                                  Refuting all existing lies
                                  Refusing low, now aiming high
             They walk their muted life away
             Reminder of his life on earth
             His former life of lack and dearth
             Inside of him they'll always stay

Kai Michael Neumann March 13, 2017 at 11:27 AM Galmi is a Nigerian Village. Must I read it in that context? Kai Darren White March 13, 2017 at 11:33 AM Here it is (more or less) a derivation from the word golem. It's hebrew :)
