Email Poem | Today's Poetry

 those days
those brain banging
walled up days
when once we sang
and once we prayed

and listened to
an endless stream
of suffocating
future screams

filled our hearts
with futile fumes
a fear of hell
and heaven's gloom

the small man's hand
in clouds up high
left nightmares
and made us sigh

never good
enough - or right
we sacrificed
our open sight

they filled us full
of hedged in scenes
with questions killed -
our minds - less keen

and once we left
our searching grew
the boxed-in ways
took shape and view

but even then
we felt hemmed-in
so far behind
a late begin

the brain-washed time
still leaves it's curse
but guess it could
have been far worse

Joy Weare,
5th June, 2010.
