A Second Look

the morning awakes us

sets off another day

whenever that starts

drag arse out of bed rush the world take a moment for your self and ...and...even others

 

recess greets us

sets us back in the day

when we get a chance

shoot the shite  wit about world issues insight even  a laugh about near serious matters

 

our bed awaits us

set with or covers

where ever it may be

rest your bum do  the wind down routine ready your self to wake up for a second look

I was wondering...

if I understood this poem right.are you trying to portray the monotony of every day life ,same old same old needing something new?If not please tell me the meaning ,but thats what I got from it. Lacy Where power corrupts,poetry cleanses.

Yes that is the theme and the ...

rushed moments that come into each day as well those times when if we take a second look we may see what we missed "new" in the routine. In ink, David moments of slack?

Over and Over

Yep life is a continual over and over phase at times it feels as if we need to sinc to be able to survive. I liked this poem raw life poem. Perhaps 2nd stanza is it greets or greats {had a bit stop on this part} Thanks for sharing this poem. guardian

It's the last line that makes this poem

I despair at the ordinariness of most peoples lives, why do they bother? Without ecstasy, intensity, awe, why live? There are too many people anyway. But now I am just being a pretentious wanker arsehole. Nobody cares about artists/poets/revolutionaries. Are we really better in some way? cheers, Jess

Note most artist are too sensatized

but there are ways an artist can make a difference...over throwing the government to open the word to a Craftacracy would be Hobbism for sure.I could be a hobbist but somebody always turns radical and wants to vote on the talent of others and what paste to use and how much time is devoted to world medium resources. A revolution of paper and popsical stick guns.Posted poetry every where like bullet holes...(no just not as exciting to me I mean I may be part of the Confetti Bomb But that is a passing thing .Art as a solution?Well I continue to look.
