Loneliness
trumps anger
as love
wields its sword

No shielding
or armor
will lessen
or ward

Loneliness
a prison
its jailer
within

No ire
or fury
compares
— to its din

                                             A Small-Minded Man

Oh, yes, I am a very small-minded man
Whose horizon stops at the apple trees
Whose vision is much upon the little things:
A tiny snail upon a pepper-plant leaf

A placid rabbit nibbling at the lawn
A squirrel feasting on his daily grains and seeds
A bluebird shyly hiding among the oaks
A mockingbird mocking all the rest of us

No grand visions for me; I will not leave
Small villages of dead bodies and wicked smoke
The rotting bodies of children and animals
Cratered cities of bomb-blackened ruins and stench

I promote no world-changing master plan -
Deo Gratias, I am a very small-minded man

Could the eloquent of words
impair me?
I see the meanings of what you’ve left behind..
The turmoil of your precious life.
Your sun and moon
by design..
Lie to yourself
in clever entries.
Surely you are the one
the gods envy!

Wicked tongue Poetry
Traveler Jul 2024
Truth is obviously subjective to what you believe
and what you think you know.
Why stop there, are you afraid of descending narratives?
The greatest evil in this world is simply the CIA. (nothing yahoo comes in second) Point at Russia, Point at China, point at Biden or Point at Trump and you’re pointing in the wrong direction.
