Life's ambiguity

Life's ambiguity

A Poem by Quaddeth
"

Life is somewhat of an uncertainty and definately the phrase "Life doesn't come with a manual" springs to mind.

"

Grow, Grow, Grow

I reap what you sow

Punishment indictment

A tsunami of wasted excitement

 

Hallucination, Hallucination, Hallucination

Here I stand God’s only son

Self-vindictive-narcissist

On a yellow brick road covered by mist

Author's Note

Quaddeth
The poem is regarding my troubles of late with me needing a change and falling victim to society and its unsophisocated humour, the typicality and conformist nature of my friendship group and my wanting to get out.

I reap what you sow - I feel a bit of helplessnes here.
I also love how the yellow brick road that leads to our hearts desires, is misted and possibly unfollowable. Nicely done in a short format.

Very nice vocabulary.
The idea and power behind the poem are strong.
Keep up the masterful work.

surreal off the sky line chain

Run Dorothy! Run! Emerald City's just a poppy field away. Thank God, these slippers were pinching my feet.

Obviously I loved the last line. It's where the hallucination begins and ends.
Childhood.

Terrific.

really nice. you can feel the cruelty of the words even though they are not so literal. I also loved the flow, it was perfect

Perfectly written... so authentic and draws the cruel reality of the world. A powerful description as " A tsunami of wasted excitement" and "On a yellow brick road covered by mist"...
Go on, bring yourself into the foreground and shine by your own light...

Easy to fall into a pile of control s**t. Better to run on a unknown path. No more yellow brick road lined in gold. Now we must watch our steps and try to stay away from the negative and control people. I like this poem. Remind me of my poetry of my youth. I'm still pissed off. Just more polite. A outstanding poem.
