Philosophising Poems | Examples

Social Media Man

Just an over-educated bluegrass punk 
Getting high on urbanised skunk
Gaultier suits by the score 
Optimises this decadent whore. 

Philosophising about modern art 
Dadaism, creationism, where did it start 
You are the police of the police. 
Romanticising about Shelley, Byron, Keats. 

Indifferent to world affairs 
Indifferent to other people's cares 
Just a contemporary Don Juan 
With fake appeal and faker tan. 

You imagine their sympathetic view 
Coinciding with your imaginary you 
Exalted ego in expensive channel
A fancy dress for a personality hell. 

30,000 on your Facebook friends 
Gives a popularity pretense 
Look in the mirror and what do you see 
A social media obsessed catastrophe.

Complexity To Simplicity

From Complexity to Simplicity

after questioning
I began philosophising
knowing my aim of analysing
a need of interpreting
of clarifying.

Now I know but not yet...

The Elusive Art

Funky Funkus For Fortunate Few
Real artists won't do alliteration
Modernist are we the folks
Seeking adoration
Post structuralism 
Is the old order
Annihilated are the Sonnets
And poetic formations.
Conversing  takes another dimension
Philosophising,  Looping, interlinking 
Elastic boundaries. Self-analysing.  
Sociolinguistic inventions 
Obeying but rejecting universal conventions.

Paradoxes reign in the world of poetic art
The art. The art. Why art thou so elusive?
