Changing

short poem

You can put a blindfold on the chaos,

empty streets filled up with terror,

on everything that's happening,

keep your rage - go on - blame us,

hidden in your mental manor,

yet it won't change a single thing.

The world is burning and don't be fooled,

this is not the end - nor the beginning,

nothing will go back to the way it were.

you are a fantastic poet. you describe reality with kindness and harshness. nobody can blindfold chaos, as you reveal. i much love your strength. i hope nothing will go back. i kinda like you. you write in a way that i wish i could.

Thank you so much! However, my poems do not come from strength but from misery, from the feeling of hopelessness.

[PaintedBirdy]

hopelessness is a hidden strength. we write because it gives us hope. as the musician Tom Waits sang "misery is the river of the world, everybody row!" we keep going no matter what. you are strong, that's why you are alive today. thank god for you!

I can say you describe very well . What's is happening at my mind every day. Very elegant lines of poetic expressions. Even theme of poem is bleak and scary. What we feel is just floating words through our wondering minds.
