Their assessment of our hearts endures.

Thinkings and poems 1 Minute

The fear of judgement makes life harsh with pain.
The eyes that spy, the words we spoke in vain.
When we age we have a wider  view
We’re not so strange nor so very new.

The dream of being back at school once more.
Where  teachers power extends most to that door
We’re imprisoned to make  a  safe  society;
Creation from  the young  makes jeopardy.

We protect ourselves from children’s  open minds
It’s we who’re frightened and we make the bind.
It is the eyes, the thoughts, the innocence we fear.
Their assessment of our hearts endures.

And they are frightened by the Judge we haul
To destroy or mould the newness of their calls.
Till in a mirrored palace we display
The heads of those who wished to change our ways.

Children need protection from the strong
But we , too, need protection from their songs

  1. This is one of your BEST poems I absolutely LOVE this! The last lines are basically genius, I would publish this in any anthology of poetry, it’s as classic as ‘we don’t need no education’ or one of those other classic lines of poetry/song. Wow you did such a great job of this my friend! So impressive!

      1. Oh I have to compare both, I was unawares of that! Either way though the entire message of this really crashed through me like a powerful wave. You are terrific my friend.

      2. The original lasr lines didn’t scan so I changed them a bit.I find it encouraging to know someone has been affected by what I have written.Thank you so much,:)

      3. To be honest I should have written on a lot of your poetry as I read it all the time and am often flabberghasted at your talent. But I sometimes don’t say so. I hope you know it’s not just this poem but so many that affect us your readers. You are truly talented.

      4. Thank you for letting me know that.I don’t mind whether I am talented.I just like to know if anyone enjoys reading it.Also it is harder to comment on poetry than on other kinds of writing,I think and I don’t mind because I love writing it very much.And it has given me contact with many people from all countries in the world.That is the pleasure of the internet.

      5. I know what you mean. I think the word talent is over-used anyway. I agree. If something reaches someone then you succeed in the goal. Maybe there doesn’t even have to be a goal. I totally feel that way too. You are very talented and I will maintain that but most of all you make me feel and this is a very, very good thing my friend.

      6. Thank you for taking the time to discuss and explain what matters to you.My husband liked my writing but not all of it.My family look now and then.My friend the photographer Mike also reads a lot and gives me a bit of feedback.He and I come from the same background but he is younger so he is my
        little brother!Very useful to have one who is willing to spend time.His photos are so beautiful.
