The Mortal Wound of the Civilized World

"The Mortal Wound of the Civilized World"



Shift upwards
speed fast
the choice, Is

Gears chosen by the 
energetic heart 
fuel the freedom

The point of attention
the “I Am” 
an expression

of the same
consciousness 
that you are "Is"

we are living 
yet contained economies
numbed and played circadian 

pinned and 
framed 
to our walls

day in 
night out
repeat 

by remote control

thinking we are free
true ignition evades us
until the game is over

We are caught up 
in the mortal wound 
of the civilized world

humanity 
monopolized
bored we are

we are
the board game

(LadyLabyrinth / 2020)

Robert Lindley October 6, 2020 at 4:17 AM We are blinded by our vanities, by our so-called enligtenments. We walk upon high ledges backward with eyes closed and think we see. We deceive ourselves into thinking we are more than weaken flesh, aching wants, dark desires and oft feeble mutterings in a raging storm. Yet we may be only one step away from salvation and eternity.. Your poem inspires me to write today.. A fav.. THANKS.. Lady Labyrinth October 6, 2020 at 3:50 PM I fear my writing may be taking a turn for the dark, it needs some attention.

Ts Poetry September 30, 2020 at 2:00 PM We are kept in the dark to keep us quiet. Lady Labyrinth September 30, 2020 at 2:18 PM We are all being played for what we truly are...human. Like mushrooms, sitting placidly in our porosity, the majority of us growing peacefully unaware under our dark wet cardboard covers, avoiding the daylight.

Frederic Parker September 30, 2020 at 11:20 AM most people can't see beyond the length of their arm and 99 per cent of the rest are blind...realize what's happening, first they need to understand the eternities do not care, we will be until we are no more, all the hopes and dreams that live in the universe will always be for nothing is new, it's only that we will be gone, another black hole from a dead star Lady Labyrinth September 30, 2020 at 2:16 PM I watched the first 2020 Presidential debate between Trump and Biden last night. Embarrassing and painful....worse than a DRE. An American friend of mine commented to me this morning, they had to turn off and walk away. Bit like this poem.
