PLEASE REBEL

Do you really look at me
when I look at you?
you breathe
but I can't imagine air,
there on your side

is humanity the same?
or the opposite
of what we have here?
is it a place
where people really care?

Do you know anxiety?
weight of responsibility
or are you where there
is no need to feel?

Are you confined
to this space in agreement?
And if so please rebel,

Please rebel.

I like the directness of your words. You brought out the attention seeking reaction and thoughts. You did. Always a pleasure to read your poetry. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

A strength within the wording leads me to feel empathetic in conclusion, well done, good read.

This one time I will say the power of this would be really increased if you repeated the last two words as one last line and I am only saying this because my mind DID just that - all on its own EACH of the three times I read this aloud.

It's a very caring and thought provoking effort.

I've never imagined a reflection imagined in such a way. It makes me wonder about many things. I began to wonder which one of us is "real". Like the words we see reflected, are we doing everything backwards? Does this person staring at me have any other choice in being there. This is thought provoking work. Philosophy and art wrapped up in one. A great skill you have. I enjoyed this and will take these thoughts away with me as I have been inspired to do closer observations to our lives on this planet. Beside the thoughts above, it made me feel a call to those to be courageous and seek justice, breaking the chains of coercion.

It's time for another Revolution in the west, past time.

It is a bit vague, but picture it as someone looking in the mirror wondering what it's like on the other side.

Didn't mean to be rude Ric. Thank you for stopping by.
