~Purple stained glass

Capturing deceptive goodness

Gazing out.of the stained glass window,
Seeking superficial depth in shallow.

Even the grey brooding sky,
Waves a crimson goodbye...
Even the opaque rocks which shone,
Disguise themselves among the gemstone...
Even the haughty rotten boughs,
Patronize the fallen leaves which blow...

Infrasonic shrills of mocking laughter,
Pierce the naive glass which shatters..
With the naked eye unwrapping
The gifts of condescending hypocrisy....

To them.... hoarding profit
Is all that matters....

Author's Note

Tired of sickos around me. Let out my frustation boil... hope you like it.

One of my favorite bands has a song with lyrics that say "the walls of a church don't make it holy." We can decorate a place with all of the auspicious ornaments we want. However, those ornaments are not enough. The important thing is that we find the divinity inside our hearts, and that we embody that divinity where we live.

I would say that even a field of flowers can be a holy place if we realize where it is. We can choose to surround ourselves with illusions or we can renounce them. I believe that goes a long way to making a whole place.

So I believe you have done a good job describing these things in this poem of yours. Especially with your third stanza with mentioning the naive stained glass and mocking laughter.

you express that revulsion so well with your metaphors in this richly visual poem.

"seeking superficial depth in shallow"

[Sophy Freebirds]

Thank you so much for your encouraging words :)

reread this today...yes, the hypocrisy of those who help others only for personal gain...really sad motivation...

Absolutely! Sophy I am one that likes it. The fact that you can see through is of course on one hand terrible becuase you can see past the illusion of broken dreams but on the other hand you are awake enough to know the ulterior motives and protect yourself and furthermore if it was to come across you tread carefully. At the end I agree even more, humanity removed and it gets down to business, let me me see how much I profit from it?

Certainly not a walk in the park sort of day....

Thankyou
