Desert Of Intellectual Ignorance   2 comments

Why! Image by kenne

Trying to understand why

Only to be shattered

By the emotions of others.

Still, I will stubbornly

Continue seeking answers

By connecting dots.

Dots that blow in the wind

Like the tumbleweeds

No longer grounded.

Fueling fires of fear

Widening the desert

Of intellectual ignorance.

    • Marita,

      . . . sad, yes.

      I capture the moment
      So to live in the now.
      Existing because I think,
      Always seeking answers
      For the human condition —
      Locked in a Sartre room,
      Holding the key, yet
      Unwilling to take up the torch
      By creating solutions.
      Only to expressed
      Reality in the abstract
      Acting out passion
      Before it is felt.
