Two Minds and We Stand - Anonymous

Two Minds

Two minds meet deep in space,

Both sizing each other circling in a tight metered pace,

As each eye peers in the infinite wonder,

That which exists in another,

Two minds it takes to see,

What duality of life truly is and can be.

A Broken Record

One person I stand,

Addicted to opiates, vanity, violence, and fads,

With fingers pointing from one to another,

Sits a fat, happy, indignant me all smothered,

So unsure of what lies in wait,

Most all at times sit and contemplate,

So sad the future is perceived for our young,

Yet no one knows just how numb,

I and the future have become,

Mental health matters little at all,

Population continuing to rise whilst my patience does fall,

My chances of utopia seem too high a cost,

But alas all is not lost,

Yet it is of no ones fault that which life has gone astray,

For is life not complicated just surviving the day?

Lives are intertwined like branches of a tree.

Beneath the ground the roots search for that which is free,

Meanwhile our planet tends get hotter,

The tree of life yearns for more water!

Oh higher power; oh something can you not hear?

Without you lies only fear,

A lack of security is what ails the most,

But the message is lost on the minority that host,

They mean well though and try not to boast,

I care so much yet fail to obey,

Mother nature cares not what I say,

Talk and talk around politicians go,

Whilst “people”, I mean corporations continue to grow,

Alas though all is not lost,

For there are many who care little of the cost,

As long as we are not altogether lost,

Do not blame the leigh man you see,

For the percentage whom cares is ninety nine point nine, three, three!
