It speaks…

    It speaks…

    It speaks in indecipherable codes

    and guidance goes unanswered by its children,

    who, in their feeble tongues, must try again

    to speak beyond themselves, as time explodes.

    Note the lisped speech of royalty that reigns

    too intelligent itself to be heard

    among the herded hordes of hurting souls.

    How elegant the oracle to us,

    deft in tone, wise in meaning, and treacherous.

    Indeed, fools implying a savior’s role,

    sea’s surge erupting against unfeeling stone

    to become a fine spray yet more alone.

    Listen then again with awe and reverence

    to that babble-speak of total irrelevance.

    I really identified with your writing in this poem. You captured the feelings I have with organized religion.

    You write like a genius and I am humbled and very appreciative of your work. Some of the poets here are quite amazing and you surely fit in that category. Thanks, mate.

    Thank you. You are too kind.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
