‘Confusion Of Illusion’

‘Blinded beyond sight’🌹

‘Confusion
Of
Illusion’

I had to stop and smile today
The people going on
Their way
Who and what do they
Really think they are-

Are they from here or
Travelling from afar-

I laughed at it all-

No matter how big
Or small
They are all searching
For something-
The reason
The meaning-

Some wish to be from
Another planet
Or country-
It’s actually quite funny

Wanting to be Geisha girl-
Red lips
Little bag
Clip in hair-
Why do you so
Wish to be there?

The others rushing with a speed-
You feel the urgency
Or
Is there actually
Any need-

Does this existence
Really feed your souls
Desires-

Across the miles of
Restless moments
Where there’s no end
To the frenzy and the
Fights-
Trying to survive

Each day a bit closer
To crazy
In amongst the material
Contents of this life
So bare-
It’s just unrest everywhere

So self- consumed
In confusion-
It’s all an illusion

The diffusion of self
In amongst the wealth-
We wear and tear
And land up
In the middle of
Nowhere/ everywhere-
Wondering how we
Got there

The truth be known-
Apart
From the heart
You have grown-
Being left alone
In a cold and lonely
World-

Your soul gets sold
In all the control-
The major role
An unreachable
Goal-

Step back
Take a look-
It’s yet an unfinished
Book-

Rewrite the lines
Collect your dimes
In time-
Rewind your mind
And clarity
You shall
Find.

As a rhyme-aholic, first off I enjoy your unstructured rhymes that flow like a rapper (for lack of a better description). I prefer when a rhyming poet still takes the time to make sense with his/her message, & I like the way you've done that here. Most of your detailed observations are not as specific as the "geisha" stanza, so that one stands out in a way that doesn't seem to flow with the rest. I like it all, but it just makes me wonder why you picked that particular example to go into such details. Other than that little distraction, everything else works well (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I was travelling on the train into London and I always look around at things and people and there I saw here dressed up like one and it just made me wonder in the confusion of illusion why things are the way they are ? I’m glad it passes your standards, many thanks for your time 🌹

This is amazing. This poem definitely sums up the confusing society we live in today. With its fragmentary structure and consistent rhythm and flow, it shows the irregularity of daily life with its ups and downs, clearly illustrating a 'Confusion of illusion'.
It certainly has got a powerful message to inspire and make one think on how to be a better member of society.

WELL DONE

the gift of retirement eased into your poem,remembrance of the rush, the confusion, the utterly dazed speed of light across so many working landscapes, i remember it all and sit back, dog and me sifting the wind as far as i can see.
