Bubble Branes

We float in spheres of loneliness
On pancake-branes so numerous.

Viewing down a sky-bound 'scape,
A microbial colony of working ape.

Trying to better our genetic canvass --
Or, devolving into primitive madness.

Schizophrenic species of love and hate
That builds, creates and burns to berate.

Our children the elders must engage,
To cool the world of its bubbling rage....

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

So very true...you've captured it so perfectly.

It has a feel of a Picasso clock, floating somewhere in space, me sitting on it, observing all those others doing the same, cooling everything down from far above...

Tom, I see good flow, good thought... And the phrase "a microbial colony of working ape" will stick in my lexicon for a full age.

Hi Tom, thank you for stopping by and giving me a pep talk about liqueur and medicinal properties of grass on my “ inebriated” poem. The poem is Rubai. In this style, the wine is divine, and our life is just a small painful portion of our true life. Getting old is bliss, because you are one step closer to the inevitable. I'm neither a drug addict nor alcoholic. I'm just inebriated in the spirit..... Pashang

Indeed... well written my friend. By the way, you asked me to give you more inebriated rhyme and rhythm; so I did! Check my inebriated...... Cheers...
