A Word to the UnWise

in bondage he sleeps
in terror he walks
as challenges energize him
the rest of the world is without electricity
his unkind spark ignites the fuel

with his close compadre Denial by his side
he is a battleship of fury
pulling along small frigates
engaging in overpowering broadsides
His tongue never runs out of batteries
nor do his backslaps ever stop stinging

Castanada-distorted views of life
imbibed with self drunkenness
he offers toxicity when he gives material prosperity
the price is blood tears
and his eyes have long since been dry

if only
Regret and Change
would become his friends
once more

(C) Picasso Lyrics 2002

Jeff darling boy as always your writing portrays such depth and understanding of human nature. This is absolutely a magnificent piece from you, the power of the words and the metaphors are exquisite. Truly outstanding writing. You excel at this type of character picture painting, truly excellent writing

Utterly utterly superb darling heart well done

Jeff

I think the unwise will always be around...I have been him/her a few times myself. Perhaps the lessons learned thus, will turn negative into good. Your poem got me thinking...a good thing. Thanks!

(big hugggsssss) Oh my gosh, this really had me thinking deeply, too, sweet friend, this is wonderful and I too believe that through time the hurt will be eased and wisdom will be obtained through the clearing! (sigh) This is wonderful and poignant, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jeff, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
