A Reflection While We Walked

An insight a friend and I shared...

Have you dared to confront your foes?
Belligerent,
looking straight at you,
with clenched fists and teeth grinding.
These frauds have been burnt many times,
only to rise from the ashes,
and garner your notions about ecstasy.
They want to efface your symbol,
your existence,
your indentations on these sandy shores and huddled forests.
But no savage, no gentle one can delineate what is in the mind of the future.
I've witnessed those falsehoods,
laughed hysterically in their faces,
then simply walked away.
I could feel their grimey claws lunging after what was never theirs.
A holy man might judge them fools,
but what is held within our heart is an answer that shall forever remain an enigma to us if we're fortunate.

Very interesting write.
My own thoughts are swirling like a child's play toy...
This is possibly open to interpretation but personally I see the foes here as:
-religious leaders
-teachers
-government officials
Basically anyone who tries to influence your views and not for better.
Just my interpretation but I'm likely way off course!
Great poem regardless, had to put my thinking cap on.

sometimes life is just something that has to enfold...we cannot figure out what is to come, as much as we want to figure it all out...yes, there are fools, and others will judge...but who really are the fools?
maybe it's the ones who judge...
better to keep visions to ourselves...better not to delineate, just deal with it.

lots of keen insight in this piece.
