Wash Away
Hitting your head upon a rock
how much intelligence does it take
to break the pattern
stupidity "old friend
I've come to talk with you again"....
it all comes down to free will
and the lack of essence
to be found desirable
in despicable me
fiction becomes an easy land to navigate
rejection like a Brahm's lullabye
while nonfiction's slings aimed straight ahead
resemble Manowar or Metallica thrashing
every auditory nerve
"Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,
walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow"
Lyrics courtesy of Paul Simon, Simon and Garfunkel, "Sound of Silence", Sting, "Dead Man's Rope"

Okay is that kindest soul Paul Simon, or Sting? Unless you have found the Fountain Of Youth, I don't think that reference is to Brahms. Human nature what a varied subject. I don't think there is even a consensus on Maslow's theory of needs these days.

I've always loved the way you manipulated words Ted!

I had never even heard of Manowar before doing a little research. I thought The Who had been the loudest 😆 Thanks for the comment- I seem to be aging into a cantankerous dude.

Don't feel bad, I had to look up who they were to understand the way you use them in this poem. I hadn't heard of them until this ink.

Listen to flight of the wounded bumblebees ( manowar) ....you'll wish you hadn't....but it's probably the closest to " good" those guys have ever done lol ( guy from extreme has a guitar version- not too shabby....but it's still more ego than tasteful)

Thanks for the tip- I will try to avoid Manowar if I am trying to calm someone.
