Shattering Capacity
not just words
the world of dog
pushing all day
blind eye I saw
panting understanding
spewing ignorance
at least there goes
the suspension bridge
idiot speaking
genius mouth shut
most lives miss
precisely what
it is
the mental state known
oh yes need not no mind
there goes the manners
a seesaw unkind
Poem by: M.E.L. (accompanied painting entitled Fractal Spiral also by m.e.l.)
if you were truly aware of your own mental state
I believe you would mind
just not your manners

if only the silent ones were given that chance to truly express, much of wisdom would be seen...
love this piece of writing.
artwork is so cool, too - neat, abstract touch.
so talented!

"if you were truly aware of your own mental state
I believe you would mind
just not your manners "----wonderfully insightful PS......our ego traditions & training do not allow for such awareness. Awareness is a great Responsibility....tis much preferable to just let ego call the shots.....yes---cultivating such awareness does indeed lead onr to be more mindful of one's manners....
Bravo, Melvin !
