That's rather odd

poem

 

 

That’s rather odd

 

Life’s full of little mysteries

odd happenings you can’t explain.

Which leave a feeling of unease

and so we carefully refrain.

 

From saying anything at all

 to anyone.We are afraid

 that other foks as usual

 would not believe us if we said.

 

That we had seen a ghost appear

 dressed in the style of bygone days

Not only did I see but hear

 A memory I can’t erase.

 

Each one of us has seen or heard

 something we do not talk about

. Because to us its seems absurd

 and so we try to blank it out.

 

We can’t explain it though we try,

there is no answer we can find.

So we repress the memory deep

 down in our subconscious mind.

 

But in due course we realise

 that everybody secretly.

Has seen something but they tell lies

Because they fear the mockery.

 

I try to keep an open mind

accept it as reality.

Not everything can be defined

and probably will never be.

A smart look at society's flaws and oversights! I truly enjoyed this :)

I really like this. And it rings so true. Often we see or hear things which are outside of the "norm" by whomever sets those standards, therefore we keep it to ourselves in fear of being laughed at or made fun of. I've never quite understood this - for if you look around, all of this is mind blowing. Life itself is beyond true comprehension. We rely on mere theory because there are no solid facts to support its existence - our existence. So then why do we carry disbelief with us at all?

Great work :)
