WE WILL NOT CHANGE

Theme of the poem is “Resistance to change” that we see in some institutions, organizations or societies. I wrote the poem for a competition

 WE WILL NOT CHANGE

 

Rocks, harder staple rocks

Silence harder than hermit’s silence

Ears plugged to stop mind’s ears

All sworn to be dead as remaining all

 

Bird sitting near a stupid bird

Dreams that all are same in dreams

One who dreams different become odd one

Out it goes in pain, searching its out

 

Hard rocks as marble hard

Rules of gregariousness rules

One who conforms is loved one

Odd ones count outdated rules odd

 

Need for change becomes outdated need

Pools stagnated, zombies’ pools

Fingers pointed withdrew to join other fingers

Revolutionists slept reading of past revolutionists

 

No medicine to cure a deliberate no

One only sympathizes with dieing one

Join the bevy of idiots to make both ends join

Puppets initiated change’ now real dead puppets

 

World rotates within an ignorant world

Circle vicious after many a circle

Growth, only a dream inside a stunned growth

Thus world rotates to rot thus

It's nice to see such contrasting references such as revolutionist and zombies. Your piece is heavily dosed in mockery but still very meaningful. There's something deep and powerful in this poem.

Keep Writing. ^___^

Nice work. And very true.

[GunMetal]

Ohh, I get it, serpentine verse. Way cool. This must have been difficult. It is interesting nonetheless. Way to challenge yourself. Much respect.

The sad part is your words are true. I have lived 51 years and saw no change at all. I was born to Vietnam and now live in a country fighting on two fronts. I pray for some good men to lead us from a self made grave. The children of the future must be wiser then the last generation. We have little to show. Poem is outstanding. Thank you.

I have to agree with writerski.

You're definitely not writing in your zone, as far as I can tell. I'll be shocked if this is as good as you can write; it seems you're holding something back. Good poem, decent flow, but rather mediocre in terms of peotry.

[Shalini Dinesh]

this kind of writing is quite hard and you made it read and sound easy, well written.

[Huggy Bear]

This view of change is really different and I like where it went:) Great Job:)

[The Analog Kid]

Very interesting theme and phrasing.

"Growth, only a dream inside a stunned growth" I agree it does seem that way. Thanks for participating in the Serpentine Verse challenge!
