BLUE FUNK

 

Condescending tones

Snap like broken bones

Sophisticated naiveté

Grandiose hubris

Daily grind

Through slipshod façade

Witness to routine hurt

My role

Unable to convert

Alter

Another’s chosen course

Quite often

Defiance is encountered

Blue funk malaise

Ballsy brass contempt

Brazen disrespect

For all things virtuous

Earnest prayers

Lifting up those who suffer

Be it consciously

Or not

Misplaced

In life’s pandemonium

Clinging frantically

To their egotistic swagger

I wipe acerbic spit

From this brooding face

My heart

Optimisms hemorrhage

Flowing undeterred

Persistent commission

Offering citation

Paradigm

He who saved me

Love my neighbor as myself

Grace

Hope

Salvation

Bursting from His holy light

My focus is to share

I like your point to point style and the artistic aura only enhances the already potent metaphors...
As always I enjoy reading your work!
