Behind The mask by selimaksan @ istockphoto.com |
Let me believe
When they offer
you a glimpse into fantasy
It’s a very
alluring proposition
One which you
are eager to pursue
As we want to
believe
Because belief is
tantalising
Belief is
security
Belief is the
possibility of dreams made tangible.
Yet conviction is
security
And we can
hardly fathom
That we could be
deceived…
That an
individual
Would go to so
much effort
To present an
illusion.
And yet some
people
Are not us
And we are hurt
Like children
And dismayed
In the knowledge
That greed can
be manifested
So strongly
And wholly
More than
dreams.
So don’t ask us
to sing the national anthem
When some don’t
rejoice at all
The chorus is uneven.
We are not
unified
and yet,
still,
we believe.

A new video poem, The Final Result.
There's so much in here, Anthony. I just re-read it and want to keep coming back for more. I like the movement of it too, and how it concludes.
ReplyDeleteBe well, my friend.
