From Above it Comes

. lies 'n chaos .

soft light

handled with gentle hands,

 that was yesterday,

in regards to chaos;

we now remain truly clueless. . .

so now that is power

    held over everyone of us.

a market of confusion

(and i don't believe you)

and obfuscation.

       (this all is fake)

none the less we pretend

              f*****g   anyway

     (as nothing happens)

 

so we stagnate

         is that so bad?

              (yes... yes it is)

I like the phrase "market of confusion" Indeed, as most people in this world are clueless on almost everything that's happening around them yet too proud to admit it. Those cunning few who know this for a fact, exploit it to the hilt in their pursuit of power. While we stupidly smile and nod away in 'the market'.

I think I might be one of the clueless but a really good guesser.

[Hebe]

Very insightful verse. Deception is the word I choose to describe chaos ... we deceive ourselves of the truth continuously in order to survive. Thank you for sharing your great thoughts!

I truly believe that living is just another term for delaying the inevitable. Living long is akin to procrastination.

[Hockeygirl]

I think it is a beautiful poem

Why is your avatar a baseball if you are a Hockerygirl?

[Hockeygirl]

I'm not sure myself. At the time I just chose at random what I had in my hard drive I just might change it. You make a balid point.

[AKhaus]

excellent dialogue, settles quickly with my own thoughts

TK, not sure my interpretation reconciles with your thoughts on this poem. Still, I'll share my takeaway.

We spend our lives trying to quell the chaos in our brains and establish order, and some prevail (or fake it) better than others. Those who fail turn to booze, dope, food, whatever helps them tame the brain.

We find relative comfort in yesterday, but it's the past, something we no longer can or need to control. When it's not what we wanted, we forget it or imagine it was something else. Either way, we lose. The past instructs and the future can inspire, if we don't fear the chaos.

Your poetry is original, and good brain exercise for the morning. Thanks for that!

I kinda like your interpretation better. It's not far off to what I had in mind to begin with. I smoke a lot of grass.

[R.E. Ray]

Remarkable, considering I've never smoked grass. But, I've consumed a fair amount of bourbon. So perhaps it's good fuel for our writing brains.

[Davidgeo]

You should try it. You might like it.

On an unrelated note, Talisker ten year old is never a bad choice if you ever decide to get into scotch whisky.
