Wild People's Wild Ride! Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

Wild People's Wild Ride!

Rating: 5.0


Just a bicycle to ride around this neighborhood,
Of six continents, mountains and thick woods,
A float underneath makes a hovercraft to sail,
Oceans of knowledge and wisdom parasail.

Not puncturable tubes on its confidant wheels,
Cautious breaks applied at every seducing tool,
That sells the conscience at bargaining price,
Love the cross continent tribes with no surprise.

Abundant of resources to be shared and enjoyed,
The games of currency, metal and commodities,
Weaken the money and devalue the affordability,
The countries pay treble and get halted financially.

Riding through the economic vault of universities,
Where the brains found out the principles of economies,
How far we shall go on this pyramidal lavishing,
Are, what we leave behind, more important than the living?

We have a cycle of life, not a bicycle,
Where the mended mistakes be amended,
A cycle of life be happy and enjoyable,
Riding through the tamed culture is pleasurable.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Left a comment 3 minutes ago...Now, I see it did not take....Lets try it again...until the 1st one inevitably shows up! An impressive penning, as always can be expected by you...It be The Nature Of The Beast' that is at play here and has always been as long as their has been mankind...It's an avaricious mindset formula of want...want more...can't get enough...want it all....And now, here we are in 2012, licking wounds we never should have inflicted in ourselves(meaning society & their governments as a whole) I like the language here, especially the many underlyings employed by clever metaphor ~FjR~

Your poems convey meanings and lessons. Economies built around greed are doomed to failure as has now become all to evident. Universities must teach sound moral, ethical and economic philosophies or collaspe is inevitable.
