Array ( [sid] => 87193 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => THESE LIFELESS MATERIALS [time] => 2005-03-11 15:06:20 [hometext] => Let go of emotions and self concern and we can move out from underneath our self inflicted oppression............. [bodytext] => Animated Energy
Electrons forming Consciousness
Stimulated Brain Matter
Bathed in chemical fluids
These Lifeless Materials
Feeding into us life

Considering the countless improbable events
that made us what we are
What have we done with it
What matters to you
Probably doesn’t matter at all

I look at my sadness suspended above it
And I see that its pointless and I laugh at its confinement
The pain of emotion, makes us focus on the inconsequential
While the universe is expanding
We’re still stuck here
In our narrow execrable cell

I know there are things that exist
In more than four dimensions
I know there are things that exist
Separate from our procession reality
But we won’t ever be there
We can’t escape our internal dependancy
Our minds are both the lock and the key
To the gateway through to infinity [comments] => 1 [counter] => 143 [topic] => 6 [informant] => Onslaught [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => AngryPoetry )

THESE LIFELESS MATERIALS

Wow, great poem. So deep and meaningful. Your personification is inspiring. The metaphors are amazing, and your imagery is so imaginative. GJ. Great Write.

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. Â©
