Unambiguous

By Nehema

Once upon a time
Poetry was more than rhyme

It spoke of the realities in life
Love, war, culture and strife

Something happened, what?
I cannot say...
To make the average person turn away

From the beauty and suffering once employed
The magic of the written poem was destroyed

Bereft of feeling and now on your knees
Pray you don't catch the communicable disease

Education breeds ignorance
When intuition is not applied
The unholy need for inference
When the gift of instinct died

By those who just don't 'get it'
Trapped in a time not their own
Uncreative beasts burdened to repeat
Instead of modernize and hone

Requiring dominion
Tho they don't understand
Respecting only their own opinion
Big words make them feel grande

Poetry is an art form
Art cannot be definitively defined
God is also like art....
Tho many have tried

The atheist of poetry creates rules
Where none really exist
But nothing cannot be defined
They continually insist

Our culture brought low
Since the big disconnect
The need to KNOW
Ultimate disrespect

Did it make you feel?
Anger? or Pain? or Pleasure?
Intellect killing retrospect
Emotions are the buried treasure

....feel me?

A former member wrote: You had me at the first two lines, "poetry was more than a rhyme" incredible opening and the content that followed was just as blunt in a lovely way. " Poetry is an art form Art cannot be definitively defined God is also like art.... Tho many have tried" great piece, I apologize about my shitty comment though..

A former member wrote: I enjoyed the shortening of some of these words in this poem. It helped it flow better and I picked up the reading pace faster. This line in particular caught my attention : "From the beauty and suffering once employed The magic of the written poem was destroyed." It reminded me of all the poems I wrote down and then destroyed myself and wish I could get back. That's what makes longing such a dwelling argument. A very agreeable write, Robyn, dear.

I knew a lot of people wouldn't understand this piece, so many assume that when they don't understand something it must be bad, that idea also relates to this piece. Thanks for proving the point this piece is actually about for those that do get it - XXOO

Sounds like an expansive view on society, with poetry serving as metaphor, well done Robyn!
