Overlooked

 

Time is spinning  ever  so  slyly

We continue holding tightly

Yet fingers slip slightly

Just a joke told wryly

While we replicate

Life decelerates

All to complicate

 What I postulate

No more reverence

For what is benevolent

Living has become irrelevant

Making  the  powerful  malevolent

Reviews

[Celtic Cat]

woah. Utterly disheartening but beautifully spun. I had to run away from the Old Woman poem because it hit me too hard and hurt too deep. This one I can take. It's wonderfully formatted, and eloquently penned. Beautiful work, just beautiful.

looks like an hour glass...how fitting of the poem...you could just here the tick-ticking of time passing as you read along.

[Rodwonder]

Excellent... A thinking persons poem... there is a deep meaning to the rhyme... I like!

[Vanessa Whiteley]

This is a nice shaped poem suggestive of spinning and the lack of punctuation works.

[Kara Emily Krantz]

did you mean living has 'become' irrelevant?

i liked the rhymes... complicated ones! not just rhyming for rhymes sake.
