Affections Poem by Doris Cornago

Affections

Rating: 5.0


Weary warriors wobbled home
Wearing kilts, drag pitchforks
Villages pillaged into ashes
Bones, altars desecrated
Gods ending in sacks
Some became tools
Some into heathen
Trinkets, briskets
Calloused hear
Doleful dirges
Fear merged
Crystalline
Heritage
Divinity
Awake
Forsake
Happiness
Comes within
Coffers emptied
Me with you, alone
Mythical firebreathers
Defying gods of nations
Punishment for aggression
Demolition, derelicts, notions
Defiant disruptions of systems
Gamefication, cash in breakdowns
Upheavals of foundations, affections

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The world as you know it is changing, systems of governments are being torn down and replaced by blockchain systems. Whether it's for the best or worst, we cannot know it now. The only thing we are responsible for is our own conviction and what we do with it. Read the graffiti on the walls. Awaken.

Hi Kostas, I was actually thinking of you when I wrote this, and the disparity of ancient beliefs and current godless mindsets. Is it a degenerative generation?
