We'Ve Stopped Living

centered
censored
sequestered
senses senselessly succumbing
overload(ed)
with fear/despair
desperate(ly) casting
thoughts to the wind,
reeling them back in

from where?

they wind up
did they ever begin
to fathom fate

is this life?

put on hold
we hesitate
but minds run on

what if?

it may never come
and we may go

I quite liked this quote, "Poetry is often mis-construed by the masses along with the intellectually handicapped" by Frederick Devine 1864

Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins, we start to build up new little habitats, to have new little hopes. It is rather hard work: there is now no smooth road into the future: but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles. We’ve got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen." D.H.L.

We have to rebuild ourselves along with the world. Hopefully this brings us closer together.
