Foregrounding Ideology Poem by Abha Sharma

I like the idea of the poetry...there is more to every piece of art than just wht u see... i like ur style of poetry...havent read anything of this sort in a long time...nice to know you!

You know as well as I do that 'absurd' is the last thing this is.... t x

Attitudes, values, Ideas, Conscious mental states Impress them on the blank slate Refusing to any intrinsic reality ---------- relativity - gravity - changeless reality - such is phemomemon - such is the brain setting- they do not have any intrinsic reality as you point it........I like your idea into poetry-is it the mind life?

Your poems are so deep that my weak mind can barely grasp them hahah! !

I have read somewhere: - 'The main object of a revolution Is the liberation of man... Not the interpretation and application of some transcendental ideology.' Nicely written with crisp and sharp words Good yaar. Enjoyed.

every ideology is meaningless until brought into practice

Abha, I really liked this one, I like the idea that our mentalities are based on a 'material infrastructure'. Really it seems to shape all of our values these days, sometimes obstructing the true important issues in life.10/10 Thanks, David

Though I have commented on this piece already, I would like to recomment after going through your post script. I do agree that one should not be too judgemental about a poem's (especially one like this) meaning. Some poems are pretty straight forward and can be explained away with a fair degree of accuracy. There are other poems however which one would do better to feel rather than try to understand and put too much meaning into it. To assume that one understands everything and to put a construction on such a poem is - I would say - rather presumptious. T S Elliot puts this into perspective 'Poetry should communicate before it could be understood'. This to me is true poetry. A poem communicates through its totality and gradually the meaning seeps in. At times the reader may not be able to explain the meaning but he will be able to feel it. After all 'The way' says Adam Smith 'which can be described is not the way'. To try to read too much meaning into a poem such as this is to label it; bleed it; crucify and asphyxiate it. Imprison it in the well of your understanding and you hemm it in, emancipate and allow it to flow into your consciousness and it will speak to you wordlessly

Another powerful piece Abha. They recently built a new art gallery in my home town of Walsall and it won lots of awards for it's design. Yet I saw no beauty at all. In fact, I think it's one of the most ugly constructions ever built. Some people must see beauty where there is none and vice-versa. Best wishes, Andrew

We are on the other side of divide... deep into the mirror... we cannot be absurd here where lucidity breathes shabash abha Frank Bhaiya is so very right about you
