Crafting an Image
We create an image for all to adore
One that is strict to abide by social law
We create an image off the resultant word
What they may have said, what they may have heard
We create an image that is bitter to our tongues
But what is your body if you have donated your lungs
We create an image, lifeless to be near
No palate for emotion, no skin for a tear
We create an image that ties us to the Earth
For it is this image that has smothered our worth
stunning..........
I love the other worldly way you wrote this. is likely from direct translation from your own mother tongue but in this case it makes the poem so much better than if it had been written in standarized English. I am inspired, Bravo poet! Bravo! Sincerely, Melissa
