We are a generation feeding from the trough of indifference left behind by the carnivores that are socialised to rend our mind All is dissection, in the examination of strata and the layers of emotion that cover us also bring about our doom we struggle against the layers around us from earth that presses in and destroys us, moulds us the image of acquiescence until the indifference of conformity is all that is left to feed upon. Biafran hollow, we swallow the stones of gall biding our time in the shadows waiting for the day when we come into the light into the power of our own being and we feed on the crumbs of indifference holding them tight to our breast offering the nurture of passion that is refused, time and time again. Our minds scream for change yet the stratus of indifference are embedded in our history, in our memory we are hungry for the winds of change that blow across the desolation and yet change nothing - and we howl to the darkness as our hunger goes unsatiated while the layers of indifference feed us as they bury us. Though we feed from the trough of indifference it shall not become our meat, our daily bread we shall not be conformed to it instead we shall change the food, grain by grain into energy that causes us to rise up and shake off the strata of history to reconfigure ourselves, to fit the new age Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

This highly cerebral piece is one that deserves to be focused on for understanding in stages. In my few reads I am moved to consider more carefully the bread of life of which I pertake. I feel that you speak to the readers motivating conscious, and challenge us to seek a certain depth in that which we choose to be of and associated with. I guess I'm moreso saying how your work speaks to me. It succeeds in sowing a seed of question for the appearent, as well as presenting a personal challenge to feed my soul the grains of true substance. |

Keth beloved heart NOW this is not only truly excellent writing, but the subject matter is heart-wrenchingly accurate. Never ever do you write something that isn’t magnificent, but sometimes you write something that leaves me gasping at the sheer brilliance of its write. I almost might say this was a write of might, might being power, not perhaps, there is no perhaps about this exquisite poem. I cannot understand why it hasn’t garnered a million and one replies, unless it is too honest and powerful for some to comprehend, but more probably it is simply that it was posted at a time when it fell too quickly and I wasn’t in to raise it high. Not that I’m the only one that does so but, sometimes it is necessary for me to hunt out the gems of your soul and bump them, so now bumpity bump up to the top you go. You know I love this utterly utterly utterly and YOU darling heart are a writer of really beautiful lines of truth, this is superbly done. Exquisite wring bwloved one utterly utterly utterly exquisite   Love and warm stuff As always slushy

I enjoyed the language here... and your thoughts. Lots to consider in what you are presenting and since it is to some degree philosophical in nature one could open up a long debate thread as to whether they are in total agreement or not. I will same in general you touched on a lot of areas that are important in understanding the world we are in and how we want the future of it and ourselves to be shaped. ' | ||||

"and we howl to the darkness as our hunger goes unsatiated while the layers of indifference feed us as they bury us." Very "Beat", Kethry. From one who howls across the void. Thanks, coyote  "The greatest of all faults is to be conscious of none." |

Please! I don't eat out of troughs! I'd be so offended, if I wasn't so apathetic about it all, at least on my top layer. Underneath, well, who knows? Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
