    "Demigod"


    Insolent minds,welcome to the view;
    sounds and visions' accolades, for your heart's delight.
    Pull down the blinds,
    nobody's watchin' you.
    as personal decisions' blade,
    the rendering of sight.
    Cords become chains;technology, a prison,
    emaciated ecstasy,languishing reception.
    Soul starved refrains; require a new incision.
    Dying, while supplying, cures for old infection.
    Make no mistake,I too love release;
    and I like to feed from my blank screen.
    Known to placate;anything for peace,
    but I'd rather tend to the musings in between.


    And still we rise;attention to the masses,
    paying, bowing, lowly,to the gods we hold so dear.
    News,dues,come slowly;to the quivering classes,
    sheep approach the slaughter,grinning ear to ear.

    A very well written poem. Great realistic imagary, from within your heart. But I got confused about the one line, gods we hold so dear. Thanks for sharing.

    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.
