"The World Is Closing In"

Invisible Poetry

Perspectives, she writes, merging 

one polar cap to other at an unknowable

equator; as though common ground

evolves, like minds meeting.

.

Who defines and provides nomenclature?

Scholars are confused seeking their

ancestral identities. Objectivity is an

orphan, asking anyone to be its 

beloved. Self-articulate, a mind rebels;

imaginate and fickle, clarity is a victim.

.

Oh! Come on. Armageddon is not

the self-proclaimed end, there's more,

there's choice. Perpetuation of ideas

is not the creationistic view. The realm

of originality is dangerous terrain like

some Che looking for a Fidel. The truth

is a lie. Humans always mess up.

A precise hit on the subject

A precise hit on the subject of objectivity and a sharp analysis of Ssmoothie's intelligent expression. 

 

"Objectivity is an

orphan, asking anyone to be its 

beloved. Self-articulate, a mind rebels;

imaginate and fickle, clarity is a victim" 

 

Such eloquent insight! And:

 

"The realm

of originality is dangerous terrain like

some Che looking for a Fidel. The truth

is a lie."

 

A stunning declaration of sad, but indisputable reality. Impressive work.

Writer's Dilemma

.

The arguments of the day vs the beauty of being alive, the demographic shifts that change debate-power weights, attempts to define aesthetic, value pushing - there is room for it all, often unfortunately. The usa form of government as an experiment? Results not always what is expected. The statues are coming dowm in my lifetime. It has to all be articulated - time, excceptionally long or short, will declare a winner. Like all men and equality adding everybody besides white plantation owners, et al, rises to meet the accepted value; makes it real. We write, what we write evolves.
