(I am what I am)

through decades I've walked
wearing this fragile skin shell
showing times passage

(I am what I am)

travels and travails
tattooed upon memories
will not leave me be

(I am what I am)

oxymoronic
bitter yet bright with joy
sweet with dark anger

(I am what I am)

this constellation
of comet blasted charred stars
is the verse I am

(And that is all that I am)

First Cleopatra herself, and now an Indian shaman priestess. You are on a royal roll!

We live in a twisted world
You have to live in the sweet spot of a certain age bracket
Just to have a chance to get employed
And if not? Well, you're screwed in a world where people are disposable

Our world cares nothing of you if you're outwardly imperfect,
ordinary-looking, non-exotic, average-skilled
While allowing the spiritually warped to lead multi-national corporations

There are those who holler about the destruction of human embryos
Why doesn't anyone holler about ignoring those who live among us?

How do we go about building a more caring world?

Anyone can become extraordinary.

I was torn between two different titles for this one. The other was, "On Being in My Fifties". Glad you enjoyed it.

blownawayby: Sabs&Co!!!! It is I, Daph, aka blownaway, still alive, kicking a little lower for all the wear, but alive and so happy I came across Poetry Seasons' email address today. Hope to drift in and out a little more often than every death of a pope!

anirbas: OMG! Blownawayby!!! Daph, I am so glad you found us, again! I always wonder where everyone goes, or how they are, when they disappear. I have been MIA for a while, now, myself. Good to see you! Oct 16, 2023 22:37:35 GMT -6 *
