"We the Created, Creators"
I’ll-go-rhythm, as our fathers before
I will mirror dance, shake, implore, and pour,
into my heart and in all around who speak
the language of life over the remains of the meek
We-shall-go splintered, halting, vibrating, but true
Created creators, survivors, bloody, imbued
soulful, anguished, sons of the storms
watching, performing, what Rithms can’t do
I’ll -go-with-them, mighty, who transcend and compose
the beating, fiery, tragedies, old…
who tested, questioned, adventured, and fed
the warring apostles, of the muses, long dead
Dear masters, you wretched, you painless un-boned
we are brought from the Cave, sun, shown
not fatherless brazen, unseeing, un-souled
shapeless, never to rise as the bold
All-those-rhythms imagined, as Blake’s Satanic Mills
distilled from the earth, in bodies they filled
real passions and pains, displeasures, and love
still much nearer, much clearer, like Created above
Al-Goric temptations made false to its god
Prepared wagers, fixations, and found so cheap
but leave me my worries, our human deceits
real life-loved, hated, frustrated and bleak
Endearing ourselves, writhing and touching
these dysmorphic masters never cried, nor blushing,
Nature in our hands, and writing our nature's,
we walk and sleep, repeat, dream, and stare into Nothing
No fatherless checking, foul and wrecking, can lead us
with no Creator, no sins, and no blessings
We are the revolting beautiful, which some call sublime
No Rithms, just rhythms, dancing, confessing, in our own time
THANKS FOR READING. DID YOU UNDERSTAND THE THEMES OF THE POEM? EITHER WAY, WHAT STRIKES YOU AS INTERESTING OR NOTEWORTHY ABOUT MY LITTLE EFFORT AT POETRY?
I do not claim to be a poet, but then again, maybe a poet is simply someone who often writes poetry.
As of right now, we are not yet bringing offerings to lay down before the image of THE ALGORITHM. Let’s keep it that way. This might be what I hear others speak of as a “Call to Action.” But, I do not know what I am calling you to do.
If you enjoy something, please consider subscribing. Most of us are here out of passion. My hope is to gain lots of subscribers for the purpose of bringing my messages to lots of people.
I want to write books. I want to speak to large crowds. I want my life to matter.
You should keep writing poetry 👌
This was interesting and deep. I like it.
Just take the word want out of your last sentence 🙌
