Poem -
" CITY STRIFE "
So gently deceptive
The touch of the wind
Through elegant spires,
Creeping across city horizons
And into the kith and kin
Of lightly flourishing
Delicacies
Of sin,
Where families so
Separated,
Barely remember
One another
And blood lines corrupted
By the traffic
Of seeming insanity,
Driven into the souls of brothers
And of sisters
Weeping,
At the loss of quieter times
Where the wind
Through the treetops
And spires,
Is forgotten
And buried ~ in this blinding
City strife...

Thanx for this Jai Masters!!...... miss you around here.......... it's about displacement.......... new family, new town, ~ get gobbled up by the overwhelming city itself.......... so many stories on this subject matter.......... just thought I'd make a small contribution to the understanding the struggle and hardships that befall people when they find themselves in a CITY!!............ miss your stuff around here brother.......... peace.........T xo
What's up T, I have to agree with Philip that's how I see it, but isn't that life the. Family grows and branches out and is never the same as i once was, with traffic flack and all sorts of city construction which they never seem to direct the repairs towards the much needed ones. Im curious of the inspiration behind this write. Very cool, peace.
Wassup D!!??.......I have a LOT of respect for history bro!!........ this one was for Ellis Island......... it was difficult........ and it sucked.......... but they got it done........ even though a LOT of broken families were created there......... we're all of the same stuff.........thanx for checking this out bro!!.........T xo
Samsonite, I was way off.
Hey D!!........you were totally right......... just a disruption of infrastructure....... family, etc......... but you were dead on........I only used Ellis Island as foundation for letting the mind run free when it attempts to convey a thing.......... if you look up further..... you'll see that you and Jai Masters said the same thing........ just different POV.........it's poetry brother........ and you're good at writing and understanding it........ just remember........... it's unexplored territory bro....... anything goes!!...... when done with the truth of your own heart ..........and killer instinct!!.......... peace.........T xo
