Poem -
Splice
Image promt - Juxtaposition
Like 5 Pin it 3Plentiful REM rest
Delicate baby steps
The infant puffs out his chest
Inhales, exhhales
Then fuses blow...
Juxtaposized
Vaporized
Mystery realised
Dimensions spliced
Then sewed...In an alternate reality
A plague of infant mortality
A self destructive spiral of gravity
Sucks all innocence deep below..Choking dust settles on childrens chests
The innocence of chequers
While the adults play chess
Too many disadvantaged laid to rest...All while world leaders sip chateau

Wow Syd...so deep and so much injustice screaming out in such a few well chosen words. And the last lines...perfect!! I agree...why the fuck do we keep putting up with a system of control and disadvantage. Lying politicians all over the world spouting shit whilst laughing into the cream??
And that's just it isn't it...WE vote them in...every bloody time. Oh...am i ranting here? See what you've done lol...great work x
Lol Marion. Nothing wrong with a good rant. Thanks for your positive comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the poem.
Take care - Syd x
Hi Syd,
This poem ROARS for the innocent. Children truly are victims of this society that we as adults allow to continue. We entertain those politicians which will never change their corrupt ways, because the entire system is twisted. This is such a clever write and I love the image too. A perfect accompaniment
Gwen :)
Thank you for your kind comment Gwen. I totally agree with what you have said. Yes, the poem was written around the image. I saw it somewhere and thought it would be a cool picture to write a poem to.
Thanks again - Syd x
If you were given the opportunity to take away all suffering, would you, even if it meant the total annialation of the human race, no humans=no suffering.
Hi John, (formerly Gerard right?)
To be honest..no I wouldn't want to annihilate the human race to end suffering. I definitely see your point though. Apologies for the late reply.

sorry I missed this Syd! another awesome write!....................................Jim
No problem Jim. I miss loads. I really appreciate you reading my back catalogue. I rarely have time to write much these days....either that or I've lost my muse.
