Words of wisdom, indeed. Penned with considered intelligence and understanding of dysfunctional humanity. Liked the metaphor of the exploding cooker, and reason untouched in the resulting rubble.

This sort of reminded me of the Terminator stories.
That was a passing random thought.
On another thought, the voice of reason sometimes can be subjective...especially when dealing with crazy people. Perhaps their "voice of reason" is their reasoning and who to say, really, what is wrong or right. Who really is crazy and who really is sane? Is it all perspective? Is no one right, is everyone wrong? I babble.
However the above ramblings is proof that this poem provokes thought.
Thank you for provoking me, Anna. ;-) |

Nicely done, yet again!, especially the last line which we should all take heed of.
I always find it ironic that we talk of humanity, yet so many treat others so inhumanely.
Keep writing

Hi Anna,
But will it be given a hearing? The voice of reason,
that is. The metaphors chosen for this thoughtful
piece are oh so relevant today, but imagine if
you had written this 70 years ago or so, would
they not also be relevant back then? Or even
say 70 years from now? Is the voice of Reason
destined to be permanently muffled?
As usual, much to think about in this fine piece.
