Reformist Plum:


Down with forced learning,
And blasphemy around!
To hell with conformity,
And the problems we mound!

It's all so bleak,
And without speech we're dumb.
At least we always have
A cold, good plum.





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

Dopey:

An interesting poem, if I might say so myself. Is the plumb symbolic of something? Natural things in a world so synthetic, perhaps?

"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh"

Some people don't even have a plum.
So be grateful.

Good one here, dopey. rest assured fractal, with Dopey behind the pen, everything is symbolic!! I think the plum represents all that is pure, clean, simple... unchanged by society. great work Dopes

Yes the plum is quite symbolic and Jason hit it right on the dot. Thanks for delving within the concept of it all guys.

Awesome Dopey! I really liked this one. The plum threw me for a loop, but I understand it now.
