2012 I question the authority of balance
For the people that need
a stable ecosystem to succeed
While the others, somehow so able,
fucking breed power so willingly, fulfillingly
The same people that have been verbally ensnared by solo-longing
without enduring reverberation despite confessing their soul
The same people that have built from the ground up
then forced to foreclose
Whatever potential mystical powers
that reside upon the fate of my survival
may continue to oppress my stature on this planet
but they will never strike down any element of mine that cannot be revived
because my spirit is priceless
and the engine's full throttle
I'm going to let the life drip like a serum,
a prodigal ooze
For when you clasp one hand over the other
and slide the top hand down to the bottom hand's fingers
I'm left with a respectable amount
Of leaked creativity, spontaneity, whimsy, and hellfire
Primed and ready at my disposal
And while I question the authority of a life balance
I will not accept mediocrity existing in the same realm
as merely maintaining peace of mind and whereabouts
Instability is your life in motion
Placidity is your strife's notion
It's up to you to know
for yourself
the difference.

I would like hearing you read this poem - you have interesting syntax - off kilter, not balanced, that would be boring and normal - exemplary title and content - allets
thank you very much
I'm flattered by your kind words, thank you so so much - and it's really great that you mentioned the syntax/delivery of this piece...it's funny because every time I read this back and consider reading it aloud, the first cadence that pops into my mind is a speaker like Martin Luther King (I am in NO way comparing myself/my oratory or writing skills to him, just an observation) - call me crazy maybe? I hear a strong-willed, confident, forthright voice behind this.. and I know I'd much rather fall into that category than any other alternatives - again it really makes me proud that you would be interesting in hearing it aloud, thank you genuinely
