A Rant For National Poetry Day

 

 

Fixated on words of careless madness

stirring up frenzy vague and unhealthy,

emotionless, headstrong voices leading,

attention to all those willing and hearing,

 

now measure each slow deep inhalation;

breathe not hypocrisy but pure stimulation,

leave out all that sanctimonious empty talk

that comes across like the screech of a hawk,

 

release yourself from chains of doubt

willing to listen but let's be honest,

negligent words of self expression

not helpful just cause retribution,

 

some people struggling to understand

strain put on them by leaders demands,

so through all the years it continues on

fight to discover who's right and who's wrong.

It's good to have a rant Jenny, especially when it's a poetic rant - and a really good one at that.

There seems to be a lot of screeching these days without listening or reading what is being said properly, and little thinking, discussing, trying to follow reasons being given, considering and giving thoughtful answers to what is being said by others, to try to sort out what is truth, what is right and what is wrong.

A great rant for National Poetry Day.  Yes, far too much careless madness all round us at the moment.

Hi Rhiannon,

thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts. I think it's got to the point where people don't listen because they've lost confidence in what they're being told.

Life is so precious and kind words of honest encouragement are what are needed for those that are trying hard to do good and not just spouting words.

Many thanks again.

Jenny.

Yes you're so right airyfairy, a lot of careless madness indeed and very frightening.

I just needed to write down my feelings.

I'm grateful to you for stopping by and reading.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

" words of careless madness stirring up frenzy vague and unhealthy" is chilling but great . You've described so well this endless noise that makes it so hard to understand

Very true what you say Jack.

Self expression through poetry is the silence in between.

Thanks for stopping by and reading and appreciate the feedback.
