Needles.

A look at the treatments we put our bodies through!

Slack little scars tell tales ought not to be told,

Eyes slit to the need of seeing men through the cold,

Fragile minds kept ignorant of present exclusion,

My stomach leaves pangs of several repulsions.

 

With a needle sharp with speed yet steady,

Takes time for blood to gather and ready,

Bleak moments of gowns hooked up to spire,

Wrinkled women have lost the will for desire.

 

Natural thoughts are stranded on shores of malice,

Every looking for the mythical and sparkling chalice,

A cup of twenty the cards are every true and fair,

Feeble minds stare blank and hopeless with care.

 

Take heed of pure gibberish written perfectly in books,

Never knowing why they stand tall with faint looks,

Break bones if needs be and they will with decree,

Make note my dear sweet friends, you’ll never be free.

This poem reminds me of some of my hospital visits, where I was the victim! "Take heed of pure gibberish written perfectly in books,". I do take heed, and so move on.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Indeed.

Life allowed us test the mind and the body. I like many wise lines in the poem.
"Slack little scars tell tales ought not to be told,"
I tell people. Something good to be left dead and bury. Few people are not touched by error. I enjoyed the complete poem. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

"...Take heed of pure gibberish written perfectly in books,
Never knowing why they stand tall with faint looks, Break bones if needs be and they will with decree, Make note my dear sweet friends, you’ll never be free."...
This particular stanza summed this whole, wonderfully dark and witty piece up for me! This was brilliant. With age comes wisdom, or so it's been said. But it also brings skeptisism, arrogance, and arthritis! Fantastic write!
