Poem Title:
Poem
My candle burns at both ends. It will not last the night. But, ah my foes, and oh, my friends, it sheds a lovely light. Author: Edna Saint Vincent Millay Her very first published poem….. “First Fig. “ In later years, on to win a Pulizer Prize. ~The Destructive Blame Candle~ Panagiota Romios Nothing impressive, or ……so it seems. Yet the rainbow blame candle warming our dreams. It removes us from any and all global responsibilities. We prance about like innocent babes, wuth no sense of basic integrity. We have, within us, the power to be a political player To make a diffrence on life’s glorious, impressive stage. However, we were taught to be insanely huggable? Make no-waves, and never ruffle life’s violent page? You..yes, you and I get cozy and so vainly new born-pure We deny with every ounce of our being, we conform? Infants, so lost and politically dense and demure! And thus, you witness mayhem and murder galore worlwide. You are not ignorant, nor am I, this is no time to hide! Wake up poets, a nuclear missile might end up one day at your side We can begin in our poetic community by not destroying one poet and drowning them insulting comments with and our false pride. World Peace? Come on~how much have you donated to any any suffering nation? We all act so broke, like we’re living on dog food and rations? Refuse to read great novels or great poetry?l Instead, we read and think somehow our world will run on perfect Seamless symmetry ? Time has come my friends to face the fact that life is not one, Running on Three Stooges jokes. It’s well known, that booze, and drugs are used, do not lie! Have you recently toked? But, with vigor, we can with braveness face all our morrows We must have integrity, strength to banish human sorrows. Tis only when we pen ..inspired by love and truth, that are wins. Then and only then, the flame on the Blame Candle is gone… Magically gone, as your words are deeply now truth …..forsooth?? 3/3/2024
