Who Ruined The Meal?

quietude of the mind 

the desired destination 

but not today 

enraged thought

choleric mind

examination perhaps?

of why oh why

the racist human 

can readily purchase a voice

 on this day 

the future that was once the past 

the pot’s been simmering 

without reaching boiling point 

for a while now 

we ALL could have shared a nice meal

as a family 

damn shame some fool turned 

up the heat 

everything we worked toward

has been ruined

It's a shame when someone spoils a perfect moment. You penned it well!

I guess things can't always be perfect huh? Always someone that has to make their impression on everything... awesome write my friend :)

I enjoyed the detail to style here and it is a shame that they turned the heat to the point of evaporation which ruined what could have been an amazing evening...

Be sure to capitalize the first words of the sentences, other than that good job! :)

Thanks - never been one to follow rules or conform - tends to ruin the flow X

There has always to be someone who ruins a perfect day. Indeed, really a damn shame. Thank you for sharing this poem. :) Rudi

[KWP]

good comment on today Bossette' you sound angry and with some justice I would guess, as was said long ago in the words of Genesis' (band not Bible) 'Supper's Ready' but who will turn up to the feast? X

Perfect description to racism KWP. Your words as lovely and powerful as well.

'.. for a while now -- we ALL could have shared a nice meal -- as a family .. '

Your words are magnificent left to right, north to south, dear friend. They touch base and heart.

Ignorance and fear has a lot to answer for, for those who can't even spell them.

My feelings are - and tearfully, ' We each have too much sickening attitude. What's fading is the ability to ignore the outside of a person . but ignorantly refuse and refute the inside.

I love this so much

We really do ruin the meal
Overdoing things
Our opinions can be too spicy sometimes
we get overheated with our own arrogance and ways of thinking
Kicking many people off the table with our razor sharp unspoken opinions that hold no ground

Bravo ......
