very deep is the answer... although when I read these words, I am reminded of a rap kind of flow and rhythm... I am also, and perhaps even more so aware that some of what is contained here is akin to my own zen beliefs..... enlightenment is around the corner, am just not sure which corner...... Neville

sometimes it just happens, I did, and twas my pleasure...
Your poem reminded me of what I heard a wise man once tell me. "Seeing your own bullshit is true 20/20 vision." It takes courage to look within, see yourself for who you are (and who you're not), and realize life's greatest treasures lie deeper than what we see and desire, especially material possessions. We usually stay in the "shallow" waters because we're too scared to go beyond. Insightful, thought-provoking piece, Kelly.

Your words are almost like a beating drum, with each stroke you pound harder and harder yet people act like they can't even hear. Many chose to live behind this facade of knowing it all yet they know nothing and it's sad that they might never even be listening.

Your message is a deep & serious one, despite the seemingly playful rhyming riff of your delivery. I agree that many people spend much of their lives doing the superficial thing & drowning out truth with blind activity & blathering words. It’s only when we quiet ourselves & our surroundings that we can get down to the depths of our own truth. Interesting form & strong message (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
Such genuine truth in your last stanza. Unfortunately many hide behind words, false facades. We may never know why.

Sadly there are some people out there who do hide behind words. You can never really dig deep enough to find out what really makes them tick. Honesty required, not games I say. Very much enjoyed your poem and the way you expressed your feelings about the subject matter. Thank you

I think some people are fearful of being themselves.
Some people hide behind clever words.
"Inside you must
Seek
Stop all the
‘Clever ‘ words
You speak-"
Maybe the clever words. Just a way to hide the true face. Thank you dear Kelly for sharing the amazing poetry.
