A Wondering Feature | Poetry

Unfair and uncertainty burn at both ends

Leverage takes middle ground

Bargaining chips, higher the stakes

Gambling with my own

A penny for poets thought

Plenty of moments to ponder

To translate what is seen

Interpret it‘s fairness

Put mind over matter

The challenge will play tricks

Between right and normal

Separating fantasy

I hate coexistence

Balance

The predator of heart in art

Holding back the goodness I crave to share

Crippling its sweetness

Leaving me stuck to the bottom of the empty tin can

The rust eating away, feeding off my sugar

So I’d say evil tipped the scale

Robing goodness of a fair fight

Cheating the system

Beating the crap out of me

An open piñata

The mind, a wondering feature

I found a preacher in one of its chambers

Hidden in an un conscience thought

Tickling challenges

Awareness putting a smile on my face

Forgiveness once homeless

Finding a home to harbor freedom

life is not fair, never has been…that is a fair-y tale honestly…but i do think the scales are tipped buy those that know which wheels to grease…smiles.

  This question has been asked by poets and philosophers since time immemorial – why goodness and evil never seem to be in balance. And there are no real answers, only that we should have faith and continue to trust that goodness will win out.

    my father gave me an answer, but it still isn’t fair.

You have to trust that good will conquer in the end. Nicely done.

This is a very nice piece, it has a nice flow and meter.

I enjoy the way you examine the topic from a couple different perspectives and then seem to find your answer in your own resolve.

Thanks for sharing that with us.

Have been an open piñata before. I think we all have been at one point or another. Nicely done. Strong writing. Very expressive.
