Smokescreen

The mighty maze arrives 

   for the sake of those with feeble anonymity 

Turmoil has always been a thief 

but an oppressed one. 

The mighty maze arrives

  for the sake of those with genial immorality

A packet of pleonexia was certainly a good buy

 -a loaf of notes being a tasty snack.

Needy seed.

The mighty maze did arrive

  but reconstructed the anarchy.

Thank you for entering your poem into my competition.

I really enjoyed the lines:
'Turmoil has always been a thief
but an oppressed one'.

Often, we are drowning in our own oppression and cannot see a way out. We are wordless, lifeless and (as you so nicely put it) trapped in a 'maze' of the mind. You convey this all in a mere eleven lines! Each of them well crafted and even more thought provoking than the next.

[moog-drika]

Exactly, we feel like trapped in this system. And this write tried to depict many of the dimensions.
although it gets its meaning only when my reviewers step inside the picture, otherwise it remains just as a pointless write. And It feels like a delight to get such an amazing interpretation from you. Thanks so much for the visit. It really means a lot. :D

when you have a need to subjugate and still let the masses think they are self determined a maze is a grand thing to have:) but every once in a while one of the subjects doesn't get fooled and climbs over the labyrinth wall

[moog-drika]

I think that's one of the traits of anarchy. It will just take one subject to change the whole plot. haha
thank you so much for sharing your interesting thoughts on this. Love it :D

Life is a maze, we live it day by day, This is really good

[moog-drika]

It is a never-ending thing. Thank you so much for the praise. :D

[Just Kim]

not a problem

I cannot see where you are from in your profile, but it's hard to be in the USA & not see this poem as a statement about our politics here. It's all drenched in smokescreen or amp'ed-up rhetoric meant to keep everyone in a state of strife & chaos. I love this phrase: "the mighty maze arrives" . . . that is pure brillance & the rest of the poem stands tall to support it (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I'm from a south asian country called Bangladesh. I think the situation in politics is pretty much the same everywhere. I won't talk much about it, I may sound silly as I dont understand politics that much. But one thing is true, it does bring strife and chaos. Thank you so much for such a beautiful explanation. Thank you again for the praise. It means a lot

[barleygirl]

The reason I know Bangladesh is becuz I went to high school from 1970 to 74 & this is when your country was becoming a sovereign state, I think? Plus much was happening there so we heard it on the news alot back then. Never hear of it now, tho!

[moog-drika]

That's absolutely right! :D
You don't hear of it now because nothing major happened in the last few decades maybe. But really glad to know that you know about it. :D

[Paul Bell]

You would think there would be health warnings to things that shine, cos the day man found precious metals, diamonds, the whole world went crazy and as your word says, pleonexia, became the byword to legalised anarchy.

[moog-drika]

Either these cause the anarchy or anarchy causes the world to go crazy over precious discoveries. The situation is ironic but I agree with your statement. This is how the world ran in the past, runs in present and will run in future.

[Chris Shaw]

I see the mighty maze as the corridors in our mind. We can get lost in them and it can be difficult to find our way out. Thank you moog-drika.

[moog-drika]

That was such an excellent interpretation I got for my piece. I'm now visualising the write with a very different plot. Thanks so much dear for an amazing review. :D

[Chris Shaw]

You are very welcome mood-drika

[wordman]

reminds me of life in general

[moog-drika]

This is how life lives.

[wordman]

yeap i guess it does

[Zayir]

At first I thought this was about the dark web but now I interpret it as a form of resistance to a government that has forgotten about it's people. Definitely a thought poker!

[moog-drika]

The piece can accept all kinds of interpretations. I'm glad it got 2 different ones from you. And thanks so for the review. It surely means a lot. :D

[Onlyme]

Raw, deep and impacting truth!

[moog-drika]

Thanks so much for the positive words. :D
