Dry stream of consciousness

Unspoken words and stories told

Of men, freedom, love and god

Where they don’t know what lies ahead

When the sun is down and the moon is dead

 

They don’t know this troubled mind

Where the truth you don’t seek is what you find

Hell hound and a leopard

And a story of a snake

Land of holy he forsake

Into the cold autumn sun

 

As the lion is trapped in the cage

No man saw the last butterfly

All those words that emerge

Means nothing more than a lie

 

Night of cold, night is old

And no remorse for what I’ve done

All I hold can be sold

All for warmth of sun

 

Cry cry friend of my

Cry for what you have seen

May tomorrow never die

May you see what I have been

 

I walk alone, you walk alone

Yet together both we stand

As I wait tomorrow’s dawn

As you count them grains of sand

 

The muse has changed, changed the dance

The man is chaired, he’s at his place

Wheeled he is, still has his grace

To walk this earth does he have a chance

 

History, mystery, endless loss of time

All this graceful victory can’t be told by mime

Consciousness stream is dry

And a sparrow tries to fly

 

Last call for fall as we await for rain

Thoughts and feeling stall in search for a new fate

What change is yet to come

What new kind of love and pain

We all breathe in vain

 

Smoke more than you breathe

Let it madness fade away

World was never a place for you

Claim it back, your dismay

 

Gentleman, mental man

What have you done

Please them all if you can

No place for you under sun

 

You ask for peace by leading a war

There are things that are clear

There are things that are unknown

And in between there’s a half opened door

 

Your homelessness and sickness

Is that what you sell

Forgive my words; but among this mess

You are mentally ill

 

Strive against it river

Why can’t you swim along the stream

As you search home in wilderness

They dry your stream of consciousness

"You ask for peace by leading a war"
The poem open the door to many questions. I will never understand how men believe threats will create peace. Gift of food, water and medicine open door of friendship closed for many years. The old world is in trouble. Need a billion men and woman of peace to stand together for the sake of the children. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

Quite interesting, some awkward phrases though, but a good piece indeed

[Brianna Brie]

To me this poem could be very personal or written about a collective group such as a nation. It is overwhelmingly full of emotion. Yikes, now I have such a heavy heart. It really hit me in the gut. Well done!

You did a very nice piece here, I couldn't exactly point the one thing you where aiming at, but I guess this is a more of a shotgun approach, you strike many points at once.

I enjoyed the read a lot, keep it coming.

[Namaa Hammond]

It's about time! NICE work As I'm trying to read between the lines i hope i am correct on your feel. but this surely is indeed, in no doubt, wonderfully, a beautiful and drastically EPIC and beautiful piece of work keep it up. By the way, I feel like you can release more energy and emotions than that. There is still some vagueness. Release it!

[M.Kilani]

Thanks Nama, Glad you find it so, yes I want that vagueness in the poem, these line are even vague for me somehow... I'm waiting for your new chapter!!

I don't know if it's from all I've been processing in my own life but this had me in tears. It's truth rings true and is very raw... excellent write..x

[M.Kilani]

I'm terribly sorry for causing you that, but I've been holding so much inside lately, I know some lines are vague, I wanted them to be so, but I guess somehow I've failed! thank you for the review.

[Lily Mae]
