They Are Out There
Is That The Refrain ?
Counterintelligence to your intelligence.
The choir sings the song.
( To many people die
From the incompetence
Or willful actions
Of a select few. )
But it doesn't console you
A damn bit
If you or yours
Are the few
Killed by the few.
You may cover your eyes
From the blast
And talk about
The telephone pole
Sticking out of another's eye
As you pray for forgiveness
For who ?
The perpatraitor ?
Or you and your beliefs ?
As they shower down Around you
as debris
From the garbage truck
That has just been
Blown to hell .

I want to thank you SS
For giving an extended reply
To the poem and to my reply.
It is true what you have stated
And I value your introspect.
As far as Abstract writing is concerned ;
I have always written in that way
But do not put it out
For various reasons.
Sometimes it is for a fear of
Misunderstanding.
I like to leave some room
For interpratation
( but unlike some stuff I have read )
I want it to make sense.
The reader has to take some form of
Responsibility on how far they are willing
To go
But you cant expect them to read-in
Or see something that isnt really there.
People write for different reasons
At different times.
(Most of the time )
I Do Want to be understood.
One reason being /
The poem is pertinent to the Here and Now .
This has given me a chance
To explain some about my writing
And philosophies about writing.
So it is all good.
Because I have taken the time
To write it down
Here and Now.

"Well, it's love, but not as we know it."
I took this down
And put it back up.
No one is reading it
But you SSmoothes. Haha
But I know you probably have to
Just to see " what the hell ".
I dont want you to be my muse
Cuz it would be Torrid .
( But I dont always get what I want . Haha )

( just one response ) see ?
I likened the pole to the plank
I likened the pole in the eye to the scripture 'plank in ones own eye' I got a great sense of irony coursing through the piece some people don't like disjointed verse because it asks them to digest and think for themselves making sense out of the clear blue yonder only it's someone else'a yonder and it isn't always blue. I read a lot. I am time poor so only comment if I feel that to say nothing would be a complete injustice or I'd my soul won't forgive me for not passing on what I am compelled to. So who cares if no one is reading I write for me. If you want a peak inside my heartspaces and brain well, I'm sorry just a peak will leave you lost in one of the infinite zones of understanding, anyways I write for me for fun or so I can leave it somewhere and not carry it around with me. If it helps or interest someone great if not also great. So I liked it I wrote twice on it that's one more reader than is necessary for the works existence already! Great job! I like the way you join the disjointed. Happy poeting and posting hugSS

I agree with you on all counts
And see the similar thought processees.
I will want to come back here
For another refrain to explain.
KS
Without knowing it
Until we do
We live our lives
In refrains.
Written in response
To people that cant believe what
They are seeing.
And insist on holding on to
The pixie dust
Dissolving before their eyes.
