Brain washed

Brain washed

A Poem by Amila Jay
"

A perspective of modern life

"

I’m driven to distraction

By the past

Making excuses

To make time pass

Bruising my brain

With rock and rap

Filled with hate and regret

And tattooing it all over my arms

Play, pause and rewind

These hurtful lyrics in my mind

And radiate my eyes

With violent video games

Full of crime

I am brainwashed

I can’t even remember the time

When is today?

Tuesday…oh no I mean Thursday

I’m tongue tied

Apologize

Confusion indulges the mind

What’s your name again?

Can you come another day?

Perhaps another time?

Lol! I think this one had a purpose in it's flow. It was to show exactly how confuzzled life can be at times. =) I enjoyed it!

With all the information and garbage we must digest. Sometime hard to know what we are doing? I like the desire and the purpose of this poem. A outstanding poem.

The structure of this poem reminds me of Eliot's "The Love Song of J.Alfred Prufrock." It shows a person who is in a constant state of flux,indecision and absent-mindedness.

Excellent poem. I can relate a lot to this. "Driven to distraction by the past" ah, that consumes me at times and I dont want it to. Loved the poem.

Your poem tell a true story. Hard to hear or find the truth anywhere. I feel we need to listen carefully and make wise decisions. I like your many strong examples. Better to walk a road alone then walk with a herd to the slaughterhouse. I like the ending to the excellent poem.

I think this poem describes a certain age very well. I can remember a time when I felt just like that. You're a good writer and I can't wait to read more :-)
