I knew to my core thought processes
Unthinkable but thought
A shock to the recesses of my mind
A bout of this world I once knew
I never thought it would not grow old
Its shiny, but icy cold
I thought I knew fear
I thought I knew hate
I thought I knew disparity and truth
I never knew it was a homophone filled with illustrious ironies
A brand of say
A brand of way
A brand of order
A brand of decay
I Knew a brave world,
Knew a status quo,
Alas there is something different
invading our psyches at will
Sitting upon the steps of our memories of a world we thought we once knew
But not you.
You're so different now
You almost act as if you never knew how it was
What ever the case, its normal now...

An intense and powerful call
An intense and powerful call to stay diligent and connected to our timeless, inner self in a time when so much disinformation "invades our psyches at will". Very wise and relevant. I appreciated seeing a draft to get a sense of the poem's evolution. Always fascinating to get a peek inside the artist's workshop. Peace and good health to you as well.
And to you also. Thankyou
