the dead of the heart
are much better off
for they deal
far less
the longer a
beating
living one
stays
inside of the chest
the more
the agony
is pumped across
every
single
vein
days
of the living
dead
are much easier
than those
of the dead living
this
my friend
is
worse
than a death sentence
at least there
is the certainty
of the
end
for they deal
far less
the longer a
beating
living one
stays
inside of the chest
the more
the agony
is pumped across
every
single
vein
days
of the living
dead
are much easier

this

worse
than a death sentence

"If we allow ourselves to be brutalised in a brutal world, brutality wins " (Adrian Crick, U.K poet).
It's a harder road to remain sensitised to real life but a truer and more vital road nonetheless.

Welcome
is the insight true and deep
couldn't agree more with the quote dear Josh as well as your words. Yes, yes and yes! Vital indeed and to give up on that road is to give in to heartlessness.

Truth flows throughout the body of your poem here, 'lil brother, and it is the poet's heart within, which move these thoughts to the mind.

Rumi once said you have to keep breaking your heart until it opens. Then you fear nothing; not even painful emotions such as abandonment or betrayal. You welcome whatever arises with love, offer it tea, and wish it well as it leaves.
What you describe here is perfect: The Living Dead, who have never truly lived.

who else, than Rumi, could've said it any better dear Friend. To reach that level, mystic, a true Sufi only could. Yes, it is beyond fear that state.
And yes what else can we describe those who've abandoned the senses other than as The Living Dead!

I’ll never forget that in my church days growing up I read a book by Nikki Cruz. And there was a quote that has always stayed with me: “We are the ones on whos tombs they’ll inscribe: died at 15, buried at 75. Out of the night you’ll breathe a sigh for the ones who are dead, yet cannot die”.
This poem reminded me of it. Rather poignant ink here. Thank you for sharing.
