Into the Moment

Into the Moment

 

 

There is silence

and darkness

in a moment.

And, in a horror soaked world,

where human blood drips

in the laws of capital-imperialism,

and demands we bow to the bottom line

and our most base nature,

these moments widen,

the silence spreads,

drowning out rational thought,

scientific method and reason,

         unless….

 

Unless

unless those who still 

have rational thought,

stand and break the silence

with continuous screams

of light filled resistance

that brings down all oppression’s

nightmare walls.

 

A beam of light at first,

like the big bang,

but exciting a future people

into the actions of creating

a new world.

 

It was once said,

and needs to be said again:

     “Dare to struggle,

     Dare to win.

     Seize the time,

     Seize the hour.

     We have a world to win.”

This poem expresses my sentiments exactly about the best course of action for these crazy current times. There are plenty who are fighting fire with fire, but it just creates a numbing roar of flames all around. As your poem suggests, we must create the world we believe in, rather than squandering our energy on fighting these ridiculous fights. Very excellent point of view stated with inspiration (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

we live in a difficult time where there is lots of anger, fear and doubt -- the dictators and theocrats abound -- on both "sides" of democracy the radicals threaten to bring us to war -- let us not be moderates who stand by while the crematoriums billow smoke into the sky, but a voice of reason in the chaos.

i wish more thought this way...that there is a World to win back and that we could...it is deteriorating
so badly...and there are just too many dark moments these days, and they last too long.
good poem, my friend,
