Confusion

As the wind blows far.
The tiger roars afar.
The birds float in the sky,
As the fish fly up high.

The sun shines at night,
The lion cowers in fright.
The birds walk on the earth.
The fish fly and give birth.

The Trees grow from energy-less sand,
Death spreads across the green land,
The sly fly catches the stupid spider,
As the confusion grows even wider.

Is this how the land works?
Am I right? Am I wrong?
Your face covered with smirks

As my mind is riddled with your song.

The king is never heard.
his word considered absurd
The peasant kills the dragon,
The knight serves the flagon.

The women are drunks,
The men are monks.
The children lie and steal
The adults are told to heel.

The castle built from clay.
The towers, small in display.
The soldiers wield nothing
The peasants hold something.

Is this how the land works?
Am I right? Am I wrong?
Your face covered with smirks

As my mind is riddled with your song.

The punches feel soft and warm.
The hugs feel hard and raise a storm.
The violence is now kindness
The peace is now blindness

Is this how the land works?
Am I right? Am I wrong?
Your face covered with smirks

As my mind is riddled with your song.

I think you meant heal not heel. Either way it's a very good poem :)

It is easy to be be confused in this world. Hard to find truth anywhere. I like the many strong statements. In your words you create a view on the world that is true. A powerful poem.

I really like this. I like how you use the complete opposites to create oxymorons. This poem could have multiple meanings which is really cool. Kepp up the awesome work :D

Good writing, and very good use of repetition. You picked the correct stanza to repeat. Excellent write. I'm not convinced of "the adults are told to heel".. heel?
