Vocal Cavities

Catching pigeons
from vocal cavities hollowed by years
Of judgement.
Eyes discoloured from Trenches of thoughts still inside
The box.
Humour looking for the ignorant sofa you seek to find
Comfort in.
Plump up the political cushions and make yourself
Comfortable.
Take my book from the shelf, and seal it shut lest
Your eyes are tempted to read the pages.
Look down the index to the context of my life,
And we sit together, couldn’t be closer, and yet
More than a world apart.
And I wait
And I wait,
But the world has gone so cerebrally quiet
While you climb to the top of your own
Knowledgeable mountain, to gain enough
Height to look down.
I open caring hands with the drive of humanity
Inside a soul with no choice,
And you see a life defined
Within your own restrictions, your own parameters
Its time that you take time,to break the seal, put away
The glue of superficiality and
For once
Read.

Sadly the people that need to read this will never see it because they've got their eyes glued to their technology.
The book collects dust.
Keep writing and I will read. :)
Thankies,

yes --- you know, well isn't like what I would say, but it is what I know to feel. Torn from efficient, the better way is to oppose, sadly to say --- you remind me and all.
Thank you! I'm asking a lot of intelligent questions after reading this. Keep writing/ honestly, someone should listen. They do.
Peace! |

Powerful write I shall always read. I think many need to open their eyes.

Hi Anna,
I can think of many groups of ''humanity'' that
this piece of poetry could relate to, and in
that sense I understand the anger.
Go for the jugular, Anna!!
