A Perspective

What is isn't What was wasnâ€™t What I considered truth Turned out misguided Life as I thought Was different than taught Mind spirals in disbelief What is real? Reality might be a hoax What I know could be false The unseen may be considered Faith may be doubted Answers will be distrusted Nothing seems acceptable A faÃ§ades perhaps pretense The world's in spin control Twirl, twist, gyrate and roll Domination is operation control

Dellena, My favorite of yours, "Midwinter's Dream," is unfortunately down on my list. If I don't get there to critique, I will be here to vote for it. As for this one, it has the power of your voice, which is becoming common here - to our betterment. MSS

"Domination is operation control", yes it is, and a splendid ending statement for this chopsticked-lined poem tapping to an utterly contextually proven thesis. Consensus of persepective is regarded "reality" and, like tenuous scientific theorem, reclassified as we grow from one inner shell to its next outside layer. But, almost always regarded as the "spoken word" while we have to put up with its dubious patent on truth. Perhaps, had Copernicus known how far his wonderful clarity would have been denigrated to Big Bang and String Theory, he would have just resigned to living among the mental dwarfism happiness of the Earth is Flat Society. And people could have gone on selling epi-cycle models of the solar system (complete with a 10 volume set of instructions and batteries.) Do we grow? Yes, but not very straight. JCH

Hi Dellena, I felt the beginning was a lot plainer as it headed to the climax...which had a charge to it that makes it the stronger portion of the poem. Nevertheless, your take on perspectives is very interesting and absorbing. Take care, Duane.
