SIGMUND FREUD

SIGMUND FREUD

 

He never taught me

But I knew I must learn

He never told me

But I knew I must ask

 

He is in grave

His books are in my shelves

He the father of mind’s science

My father never knew him.

 

His people wanted him to see die.

A fate of many a prophets, harbingers

He stuck to his theories, invisible facts

That he exhumed from disturbed minds

 

Death instinct wedded life instinct.

Id, ego , superego competed for supremacy.

While unconscious, a hibernating snake

Peeped through pleasure principles.

 

Even God blanched at his analysis

Of idols and temples made for His existence.

Insecure God shook insecure collective minds.

Minds began to hate the father of mind’s study.

 

Libido the nectar of existence..

It is there in child, it is there in child..

He shouted from the roof to the world

World cringed in awareness, decided to deny

 

Defense mechanisms that he brought out

Could not defend his findings and him

He was ousted by hypnotized minds

They were afraid to look into the mirror

He held for them…

 

Emperor of observatory of minds

Succumbed to death long before

Collective minds declared that….

He was the father of their minds

 

He went away, teaching them

To interpret their dreams

But never interrupted their dreams

As they afraid in their dreams

 

To know thy self, he said

Know your unconscious.

To know other selves

Know collective unconscious…

 

Hey folks, with minds,

To know Sigmund freud

Be ready to experiment with

What he said, what he did

In the laboratory called Mind. 

Your eyes can see the invisible.

Reviews

[Rich Weas]

It was very good. The story is very poem you have allowed us to learn what he was teaching, in a very eloquent. It is very enriching your piece, thank you for your work.

[Sean Allen]

All I know of him is that he believed that Akhenaton and Moses were related.

[Ed Hart]

and on to Jung, and especially, Erich Nuemann (The Origins and History of Consciousness)...

[the_stoic]

your writes are really varied unlike the usual ones .. just a suggestion .. kindly keep the grammatical errors at bay cause they take away the pleasure of read .
