Double Trouble
Such a pointless emotion is the humans' guilt
My guess it was made when the appendix was built
So what the hell was guilt made for?
To give that lonely appendix a friend to ignore.
If your feeling that ill chill of guilt in your gut
Be careful its ally, appendix wont erupt.
They are both corrupt with abrupt agony
One comes without warning
The other hears no sorry.
Havenβt we all as humans made many mistakes?
it feels bad enough,Β so guilt give us a break!
I understand remorse is derived through compassion
Yet it doesn't deserve to serve self satisfaction.
Have we ever really needed these hidden ails?
An impotentΒ emotion
And an organ that fails.
Why cant they be more like our wisdom teeth
Bring on the tooth with a name we all seek!
Yeah sure sometimes they have no room in your mouth
And they may cause dis-ease,
But a breeze to take out.
AlasΒ appendix and guilt,
They choose to leave scars
Like a cars tyre marksΒ
Across our stomach and hearts.
Appendicitis, emergency
Guilty conscious set me free
Get them outΒ of my body and mind
Life is tooΒ short
and I don't have the time.

superbly crafted piece
Hey CAREY!!..... this is such a clever write...... humorous and insightful at the same time...... it is interesting that you chose the appendix to partner with guilt for a few reasons.... the most interesting of which I find to be ~Β that it is one of the few vestigial organs that remains immediately accessible..... the 'Third Eye' being an example of one that is no longer immediately accessible.....Β when you take that into account the poem becomes not only insightfully humorous.... but profoundly compelling!!..... you have such a gift for phrasing and poetic tone that I find your work to be remarkably compelling no matter what subject matter you choose to engage......ALL STARS!!..... well done dear poet sister!!....... Love your stuff!!....... smiles.......T xo β€
Love this! Clever and intuitive and with a bit of humour thrown in on a serious subject. Wonderful.
Thanks for being able to read in between and beyond the blatantly obvious wording of my words.
Β LoveΒ alwaysΒ
