'Swallow the Yellow Brick Road'

Beautiful, PD ... I love the line break after the second line. Great alliteration in the third stanza. The final line break is epic ... "sole content" I imagine hearing it and also hearing its homonym "soul." Ms. Gale approves!

Thanks,  your thoughts n support are deeply appreciated always :)

I love this... and the last stanza was pure genius ! 🌟😎🎈🌞🌷

Aaawww... thank you sweetie, that's a wonderful thing to say...appreciate you bunches :)

I felt very sad reading this, PoetikOne.  
 
It seems almost a ballad of hopelessness
going nowhere in Life's yellow brick road.  
 
And it does seem that way at times.
The rich get richer, the poor continue
to struggle and die from lack of.  
 
A majority of People don't seem
to know the meaning of Love any longer,
appearing out for only themselves.  
 
There are very few with compassion and  
understanding, which extend a helping
hand to those in dire need.

People cross the street to avoid the
homeless. Children are abused and
molested.  
 
It's a tough world we Live; however,  
as long as there's Love I'll believe. Even  
if it's animal Love vs human  
I'll believe in better.    
 
And as long as there are sites such as  
this, where Poetry and people matter,  
I'll believe in better.    
 
And as long as there are caring and  
genuine people such as yourself,  
PoetikOne, I'll believe in better.  
 
I'll Believe.

Ahavati...you're a treasure to me. Thank you, for the heartfelt commentary, n all the continued support...belief maybe waning but I do believe in U.... :)

What a creative piece it is! Enjoy reading this!  
But... what is life? Such a novel definition from your pen....."Decadent descent  Drizzlin' deliberately ....to reconvene in solitude's  
cavernous tent..."; "a fuckfest for the foolish.....the embrace  
of sole content..."
I know many thing are unfair, but don't be sad. You are not alone, my friend. I am always there!

A sad commentary on the rat race in which we scurry and the empty prize awarded to the ones consumed only with their own placement within the field.

Love the metaphors used here.
