Imperious!

After last night I got inspired and this morning I wrote the following poem. I can only hope you enjoy my raw thinking within my writing style.

Imperious!

What have we become to 
what do we have to show 
other than the hate we nurture 
have our imperious grow 
Arrogant we taught others 
a pompous way to be 
tall we walked among towers 
trample houses down below 

What have we become to 
what do we teach our own 
that variations are excuses 
from which discrepancy flow 
contemptuous we forced 
our way of thinking 
tall we felt when flying high 
watching other people die 

What have we become to 
Are we so deaf and blind 
Unaware of our arrogance 
loathing all other kind 
We not on top of mountains 
or taller than a tree 
the higher we think we are flying 
the hardest the fall will be 

What have we become to 
what history taught us wrong 
Are we to easy in believing 
weak following the strong. 
Or is the strong like me a human 
from flesh and blood provided 
that he to will have to admit 
his defeat when we stand undivided. 

What have we become to 
the answer I do not know 
but true we should be living 
as one, says an overbearing Crow

This is a poem after last nights talk with the Culturemonk and CatholicJohn About our behaviour I guess through out history. At the same time, I used a prompt by the lovely Australian writer of  poetry, Giorge Thomas. She Prompted the word ‘Tall’ and I guessed it would fit right in, though it may be in a bad lighting or bad sense of the word.

Don’t forget to say hi! let me know what you think.
And did you know I wrote a Sensual Sunday story based on an idea from Giorge Thomas that started in the Sensual Story Teller and even used her name.
Best Wishes
