We are a sort of vanished generation,
even if there's no trauma yet to grab neat - trauma's freddy kruger fingers
at our collective consciousness -- the half
of us that can still act,
they fail to see the visions
crippling our poets and our painters: nice p's
a world at war, a world aflame, nice w's
a world returned to tyrants' hands, nice t's n's
and other such abstractions. Or perhaps love fullstops mid line - im a rebel
they see, yet feel they're free good bit of in line rhyme
as long as future's future -- for we lack f's good stuff
a proper cause, a righteous dogma
to hold us absolutely, the modern mmm hold us absolutely - nice embracey image
butchered by our mothers and our fathers ( like the pet turkey at xmas)
into a Chimera we'll mock to fight,
a Pegasus we'll soon lose.
oooooh, lubbly but a little glass half empty tbh..... have a similar cynicism, less well expressed usually.
good fri 13th imagery with groping trauma making passes at poor u, and lovely alliteration to linger long liking.
nice cuddly mental pic in last stanza good stuff overall... thanks for the read
