We Seek Safety In Social Sameness
A Pantoum
To find your way to truth in this thread of time
Be sincere in what you write in your global manuscript
Or join the chorus and sing the song of social sameness
Tuck your hidden remains behind an acceptable mask
Be sincere in what you write in your global manuscript
Living in a world where reality doesn’t rhyme with truth
Tuck your hidden remains behind an acceptable mask
Sing as you sink into the drudgery of donkey work
Living in a world where reality doesn’t rhyme with truth
Learn to reconcile the struggle in your narratives
Sing as you sink into the drudgery of donkey work
Linger in the fullness of your life, to compose the solo for your soul
Learn to reconcile the struggle in your narratives
Or join the chorus and sing the song of social sameness
Linger in the fullness of your life, to compose the solo for your soul
To find your way to truth in this thread of time
We were in Malaysia last year. I was intrigued when I discovered a form of poetry that originated there.
It’s called a Pantoum. This is my first attempt at writing one.
Thank for exposing me to the Pantoum poetry style.
This poem is terrifyingly beautiful and insightful.
You are an inspiration.
"Learn to reconcile the struggle in your narratives." How so true is this.
