Masked Oppression

Contributed by Predicament on Tuesday, 7th August 2007 @ 10:22:01 PM in AEST
Topic: Grief

When in a crowd; all gains one face,
and we shelter ourselves from being ourselves,
to protect ou sturdiness,
even from the meagre thought of an encounter,
with mass rejection...

Our feet become the readers of our mind,
as we converse, with our movement,
so hasted - so fast,
at times we even get to affirm,
our supremacy;
to sculpt our faces to become,
different, unique and individual...

A girl has her eyes wandering,
but is pulled by a knower of customs;
she looks up to find her sense of security,
behind a mask; an overfamiliar mask...

We enter this world, and silently,
values that negate our harmony,
are imposed on us,
by a force of scattering people,
uniting in a task,
that results to the fact that:
when masks are removed, our true faces wish,
that the world could be different...

Ohhh very nice!
I really liked:
to sculpt our faces to become,
different, unique and individual...
It spoke to me,
Great work

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
