Notes About The Poem

Unease

Unease

You see the illusions
Of the demented mind
Whining like a victum
When he is the perpetrator of the crime

I wonder if they see
How crazy they appear to be
Or do they wander inside their distorted minds
Blaming their own ignorance on others brilliant kinds

Whine whine whine
Why do they
Trumpists and gods poets 
Why oh why the deceit and being unkind?

I take my wine with Jesus
St Patrick and the divine
After a few I used the plural
When the devil is but one with no rhyme

With Cork and Kerry
The Celtic poets get merry
Ignoring the ones lacking merriment and rum
Bitterness blaming no talent on others shun

Digging deep into Jewish bones

The ignorant lack the light and must be shown

Yes, a lot of unease in the world today. Your poem leaves us much to ponder, Arthur. Loved that last line. It summed it up quite nicely.

Those type of people linger here and there, even on soup, and portray themselves as the vitums much like Trump does. I often wonder if they realize most see through the deceptions and lies?

I have always wondered what goes on in the minds of those who perpetrate crimes, deceive others and are also unkind. Taking your "wine with Jesus" steers you in a better direction. The line about "Trumpists" seems to be describing a politician. Hmm Very well written, Arthur. It's good to read your work again. Hugs, Carolyn

Thank you so much Carolyn! I am smiling at your notice of the wine, Trump has money and power, there are many who do not but have the same attitudes and treatment of others, and thats truly sad!
