Contention (Free verse) by Drummer
June 19, 2002
~
Contention
~
incompletely fascinated
but no motion
because transparency
has dilated my pupils
such an impression
does not belong in life
pretentious thoughtlessness
a characteristic of some
does nothing to stimulate
~
the allegation stands
but noticeably threw off
my equilibrium
no problem
just another series of oscillations
it must be the passion for freedom
or
a contradiction
by intimidation
~
we can hold our breath
but cannot refuse to swallow
it?s all arbitrary
the temporal idol
has turned to profanity
definitely beyond repair
that is in my view
transcendence is devoid of hope
~
the continual shuttling between
and there is no mastery
it is not a skill
but just an exhausting drive
into recklessness
where unreasonable virtue
seems to have left some powerless
and like many I am tired of criticism
of disparagement and spitefulness
tit for tat
it?s just a contention of mine
