The Extinguished Revival of the Contemporary Arsonist





It’s not what takes place at the birth and
death of every hour, but instead, what symmetries are provided upon the thirties— dividing lines of power

Amidst a veil of tragedy,
an encapsulating entity reveals itself
to be, a personality of untapped
potentiality, a reason for forbearance, a reason
to atone what’s been lost by disdainful blows

Amidst the reaches of escape,
to which our tragedies often follow flow,
we can enunciate the possibility of rendering
useless, through the daunting effects they often play

No longer must we wallow in our pitiful seas of
sweat and fear.  No longer is it necessary to dream alone in black and grey.  Now exposed, a new destination ignites the
sparks to which we pour our promises into, offering the symbolisms of hope and the prayer that shall lead us down an enlightened path

However, consequence is always alive in every choice there is to be made….

              Those that harrow our escape, can include what would be soured at during any other given time, yet in such spots as these, the finer points are buried beneath the opened windows that this new brand of savior here completes

Amidst a veil of tragedy, an encapsulating personality reveals itself.  It is here where we eagerly agree to its many hidden terms, where it dethrones us of our combative sense of self-loathing, and leads us up the peaks, to a world completely concealed by the bountiful wonders that shield us from evil’s corrosive eye. 

Yet, to such a choice, consequentiality demands repayment of our contracts stipulations.  Here, we find our chains forever freed, yet still, we must substitute one oppressor for the next, as we find ourselves knelled to their feet, offering up our fealty, bare and ever-more-forever frightfully exposed.   

To such ends, we mind not the burden caused by our individualized subservience.  For it’s not the expressions…no, it is the expressions, glazed upon our family and friends, which make extinguishing conflagration’s kiss, a sacrifice we’d, without doubt, if revisit we ever must, willfully renew, without a bat of lash or a shy of eye.

Together, forge forth and forward recall all the reasons why, we began onto such onsets, striving to, not complete victorious trots about a central stage, but, to do only what we can, and try, is, at last check, synonymous with the definition that embodies the spirit of man

  2. wow i am in awe... this is really a beautiful reflection on life lessons. it all boils down to "choice." i surely can relate to these lines-

  3. Seems we were sorta in sync today with all the little things at play and all we do, can come back to haunt you. Or make things better to. Once more depends on you and what you let come due. Each thing building up to a path or way that will forever effect your life's output at your bay.

  4. No longer must we wallow in our pitiful seas of
    sweat and fear...so often it's a matter of choice how we look at things that happen in life, how we look at ourselves and "think" us into relation to the world around us...and it's not positive thinking but the deep wish from within to play a good role, to make a difference...a moving write fred

  5. This is so full of truth, of the reality of consequence, and the fact that there is hope. And there is an inner strength in us that can respond to crisis. You are a deep thinker and writer and you bring some of this out in me.

    macro and micro, historical and personal

    a terrific span
    capture - zeroing in on the singularity . . .

  7. Almost a poetic essay, full of insight and lessons, we all need to keep down the tendency to think those victorious trots are why we are here. Great share, Fred.

  10. You really captured my attention with the depth of your wise words! I have more favorite stanzas than I could copy and paste! I'm also a bit envious of the length of your poem. I tend to run out of steam!

    Oh,thanks for stopping by to visit my blog!

  11. I came back to read it again, to watch the 8 stages of regret, and have reread the Apercus pieces. You've clearly hit an artistic stride, experimenting and expanding your poetic language and acting skills :). These pieces are emotionally affecting and thought provoking, as ever, you impress with your range.
