Good afternoon everybody. I am a French poet, but there is a translation of one of my texts. It may contain bad English turn of phrase, so please be lenient. ![]() It is about free poetry, but I don't know if I can post it into the 'Prose' section, I hope it don't make any problem if I post it here so. — Highbrow mind — Lowbrow mind, Lowbrow mind, Delight of irony, suspicion, Gossip and assumption. No one has right to Difference. Is it not better to have dark skin, And radiant sunshine On one's lips, Than to have in one's brain, A nest of ants With its numerous galleries, Have one's heart so Dark that it is frightening! Rule of Intolerance No one has right to Difference Racism has so many faces... Racism of classes Or of races, Of young people Towards the old age, Sex racism... We search for pretexts For justify Our closed minds. Racism of the illiterates Facing the intellectuals, Towards the "ecolos" Whom we would like to kill Fool dreamers, Inveterate backward-looking people, Racism to animals, Who bear all without a word... Lowbrow mind, Lowbrow mind, Blind and deaf To every act of love Or highbrow mind, Always higher ! Love raises And elevates To another Level In Earth radiance And the spheres of light Where we are all brothers and sisters. Eole. I'm a French poet. If you are able to read French, you can read some of my texts at the following address: http://nicole.castillo.free.fr/ |

I like this, Eole, as it reminds me of some of the other poems I have read on this site. And being reminded of others' poems...is a good thing! Welcome to Passions! Please, check your email for a very special greeting! " It matters not this distance now " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love |
