THE CAMERA
No, stop! Don't take my
photograph,
For it will only freeze my frame
in time!
But my true self cannot be
captured,
In all your negatives;
Since my positive soul lies
enmeshed within, -
Immune to all your digital and
laser imaging!
Once released, it will be with
eternal time,
Beyond photographer's imagining!

Truly outstanding poem! I love the double meanings of key words and phrases such as 'negative' and positive and 'freeze my frame.'
So wonderful. No the eternal life of the soul cannot be frozen in time.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
technology is just amazing, then it was only pictures frozen in time but the camera now captures motion too #video
