~ THE DYING SEED ~
On shores of constants
In times of need,
Crowd, the huddled masses
NURTURE, the dying seed...
Come young men of righteous anger, to battlements
Their fathers before them, supplanted and torn
Having instilled their desire, to burn the world
They release, a primal scream, to warn the forlorn.
On shores of constants
In times of great need,
Crowd, the huddled masses
FEED, the dying seed...
This world a grievous melting pot, of greed, and adulation
With corruption a constant of powerful men, they feed an urge
With money the heart, of nearly all scheming contemplation
This world, as Atlantis, deserves to be submerged
On shores of constants
In times, of hopeless need
Crowd, the huddled masses
TEACH, the dying seed...
There shall come a moment, crucial, to the fabric of humanity
As technology threatens, to remove the 'God Gene' from man,
One final, 'touch of a button', one infinitesimal testimony
Which, once-and-for-all, defines, the uniqueness of man
On shores of constants,
In times of great need,
Crowd, the huddled masses,
GROW, the dying seed...
When a golden ratio
Heralding,
The end of life symbols
Appears,
So to, shall come
A saving grace,
A sacred geometry,
A new formulaic foundation,
For the perpetuation,
Of Mother Nature...

You loved Thisun'!?.....smiles......no worries JILL, I Love that you cared enough to point to it!!.......you're awesome!!.....Hugs-n-Smiles!!......T xo : )
Yes lol i loved this one 🤣❤️💕❤️
Great piece with scientific insight - What happens?
Scientifically speaking - no answer from me just wonder Ha ha ha.
Thank you YIYAN!!...indeed there is.....and the answer or the key to comprehending the whole of it lies in those four words ~ NURTURE, FEED, TEACH, GROW......all delivered in quiet.....in contemplation.......as though it were delivered during a time of meditation....the cadence of the whole of the poem is also VERY indicative of the same.....so glad you are taking the time to understand!!......It is appreciated brother!!......stay groovy......your cyber-friend and ever-admirer!......T xo : )
A deep write this Tony and I love the repeating lines bringing home the message of mans inevitable self destruction? I think there have already been three? mass extinctions on this planet but it can't happen to us can it? Surely not...we are humans!!...god's...greater than god's!!
Hmmnn...!!! Great write 💕
INDEED Miss MARION!!.....you've struck at one of the driving forces behind this piece.....Man has the power to destroy himself ~ and the entire world right along with himself ~ "One touch of a button" ~ "One infinitesimal testimony..".....and this write goes off into a little more with the highlighting of ~ "NURTURE, FEED, TEACH, GROW".......and then its structure/formatting speaks volumes as well......I'll PM you some time and go into it with you if you'd like....it's just me studying some of the old, great, poetic voices......Just me emulating some of my hero's!! (smiles) Anyway, I look forward to your impressions each time I put up a poem.....If you weren't here...I'd probably write less.....but I need someone to help me going forward.....and right now....you're challenging because you write so well....and I thank you most earnestly my friend!!...I am your friend and Ever-admirer!!.......T xo : )
Oh please don't stop enhancing this site Tony...very few people on here actually interact with others and the site itself, it can make it a lonely place sometimes and you are very talented and inspire a lot of us, keep us going also with your generous and in-depth comments!! We have already lost Icarus flock whose unique and dark works I miss terribly and blank canvas...!!!
you know, IV got the virus at mo, I'm fine but it has robbed me of scent... completely!! I can't tell you where my mind has started wandering!! You see, as our reality is perceived entirely with only five small senses, does it exist if those five senses are gone?? I mean...scent...does it exist then??
It doesn't for me...there is no scent at all in.my world now. What if sight went and taste sound but I still breath...does the physical world exist?? I'm not explaining my thoughts very well.it in 9 am on a Monday morning here in UK but you understand what I'm saying I think...hugs 💕
Wow! Huge thought provoker! the arrogance of man is his undoing ! The depth is a college thesis! enjoy plunking around in your brain! ......Jim
Thank you JIM!!.....you're right on track brother!!.....your words are VERY much appreciated dear poet brother!!......smiles.....LOVE & ROCKETS!!.....T xo : 0
Theres a lot in this, it seems to bring up a the issues of society for me. The biggest problem which impacts the environment and humanity like wise is corruption. The only way we will ever get to a point where true progress can be made is if we can prevent people from looking only at their best interests all the time. Technology is also such an interesting one, it's going to bring up a lot of issues once we learn how to become medically immortal. I'd like to see how that plays out but I feel it will be way past my time. Always manage to bring up some intriguing ideas. Kudos admirable poet! Love your work. Your friend, FISH
Dear FISH!,
I am so proud to know you my friend.....you're the only one to touch on one of the driving themes of the whole poem.....which is surprising to me.....because there are some great minds on here......a few of which simply don't comment on my poetry any longer.....but that aside.....you touched on one of the most Glaring motivations ~ which is 'Corruption and the Survival Of the Fittest'.......the other ~ which MARION pointed out was the fact that ~ Man has the power to destroy himself and everything he knows right along with it!!......I was telling her too....I feel fortunate to have you both here...because I need you....without you I would publish less....and certainly be commenting on others much less....so. thank you for that....you keep me 'Trying to get better' all the time.....there's just something about your presence that keeps me motivated (even though you're relatively new to this site).....I can't explain it ~ don't really want to either!......Stay groovy my friend!!........LOVE & ROCKETS!!......T xo : )
Awesome! I look forward to the final, Tony. 👍👍
Thanx MICHAEL!!.....I DO think you'll like the next one too....I'll message you when I put it up ~ in case you miss it.....stay groovy brother!!......T xo : )
Wow a powerful write. Agree with Marion's and fish comment. I love the repeated lines inbetween with the changing bold word and the phrases of evolution! Great arrangement. Px💜
Wow PRATIBHA!!...thank you for recognizing that...It's so obvious that the author wants you to recognize those words NURTURE, FEED. TEACH, GROW.....if you look into those words closely...you will find that the key to understanding the entirety of the poem rests in your understanding of these few words........Thanks again dear poet sister.....now you get it....or at least you're on your way......Thanks again for simply being you and finding the key to the whole of it!!.......You're awesome!!......stay groovy.......your friend and ever admirer!!........T xo : )
Aha!! That's good to know! I too had bold words in my poem posted today lol!! So I knew they were important!! Px💜
Thanx so much for the Vote & for the PIN GREG!!.....you're too kind!!......smiles.....T xo : )
