Hold?

Hold?

A Poem by Lucifer Jones
"

More rambling.

"

So I ask you... do we let go... allow our souls to rest and seek their level... their balance? To sleep? To dream? To swim in an ocean at night? To be lost and silent under a cold black wave?
Or do we hold on... brace ourselves... lower our heads... lift our face... sound a hearty yawp and fling ourselves in effort upon effort to bring change? Wage war upon scarred earth and soil...? There is no ground not bled before... no germ or pestilence unvisited these places... So we do it yet again? Tell me... will the flood of our annihilation wash it clean? Will it swim deep enough to leave no breath emerging? Perhaps we are nothing already but the overlapping of a great dead past... the best we are, ashes and fossilized natures drifting on time... drifting in chaos til a future unknown deems us a worthy play hour and creates us anew... breathes life... and blows new form...
Hold on to what we know as human nature? And try to redefine the job... the role... the position of man? Or let go... clear away the debris and let what will be... be... the infinite revolutions of chaos. Perhaps it is time for the disappearance of man... perhaps it is time for an improvement... creatures unknown... better... or perhaps it is just another question... can we do both?

 

 

Breathe... see... tolerate... understand... accept... live..... Deviate......

This is something that needs to be read aloud! It's very good, but the outline is choppy and difficult to stick with. Have you considered breaking up the lines in poignant sections to help the reader with pace and emphasis? I really would like to hear this read aloud. Thank you for sharing this!

Sometimes erosion can be a good thing...but only if we can replace it with something more positive. The dirt beneath our feet can be so green some days. But tomorrow it might bury you ten feet under.
