People, people!
Awake, and hear me,
a crying seagull.
The sky has darkened.
I’ll let you near me,-
Harken... harken.

I am your conscience,
a new messiah.
Within your mansions,
within your temples,
I’ll start a fire,
and you won’t tremble.

Stone walls will quiver,
your churches- crumble.
Take in my silver
and share my visions,--
walk in the rubble
of past convictions.

Open your cages!
People, people,--
your conscience rages
with warm affection.
See through a peephole
self-resurrection.

No books could teach you,--
the truth’s inside you!
How can I reach you
within your dungeons?
See me beside you,--
I am your conscience!

See me beside you,--
I am so little
The truth's inside you,
People, people...

Wonderful poem Master. I truly enjoyed this one. You write so well and I am just so jealous! hehe.
Hope to see more!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

You always take my breath away. Stop doing that!

This one was really catchy. Kept you going right until the last word.

Reply more often though ok.

Wow man, I love all your work, I eagerly anticipate the next post from you - all the time! I love this, I don't have constructive things to say though, but I can always be encouraging! However little it means: you, I think out of all of us here, are the best.

I'm always amazed when I read your poems.
I don't have any words anymore to describe your writing
i think I've used them all already

keep sharing my friend

GREAT job, Master... another job that's very well done. Keep them coming.

I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am.
