Laughing Heart.
Your life is your life
don't let it be clubbed
into dank submission.
Be on the watch.
There are ways out.
There is a light somewhere.
It may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
Be on the watch.
The gods will offer you chances.
Know them.
Take them.
You can't beat death but
you can beat death in life,
sometimes.
And the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
Your life is your life.
Know it while you have it.
You are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.
[Charles Bukowski]
The reader mentions; Gods (Plural)and Light! Why, are poet's weary of acknowledge the Source of Both? The source is; Energy! Energy is everything, and Everything is made of Energy! Gods and Light!

I think energy could easy replace gods in the poem :)
DeleteQuestionable Poetry: By Dr. Gene~Landrum
ReplyDeleteIf all is Matter, 'All', contains Units of Energy, each Unit is Equal in Strength and cannot defeat/destroy, each other or can it?
Is It all 'Relative' to each other?
If Simplicity is 'profound' why is Profound so difficult?
Is Life Living or is Living Life?
If Positive has an opposite, is it Negative? Is there something in between?
If you question yourself, who are you questing?
If 'Life is a Bitch' then 'Death' must be Bastard, or is it?
If this is Poetry, why was it created by a non poet?!
If you can't destroy Energy, can Energy be controlled till its Anti Energy?
Wow - now, this is existential :)
Deletegood point on simplicity being so difficult.
