Geopoliticus
Geopoliticus
Nations tremble
in awe of the power
as new man rises.
The child cowers
as her world splits
in two, in four
dividing against itself
as thousands rush
to fertilize the off spring.
Begging release, direction
acceptance of dictator
better than having
to think for ourselves.
Tell them what to do
these children,
God forbid you let them think!
We have not birthed brains
capable of such freedom.
These egg shells slice skin
too easy, breezy blood loss
where our borders are broken
Despite our insistence
On having them at all.
And the child grows
Out of her fear
To evolve into
The prettiest of puppets
Ready to do the biding
Of those that draw the lines.

So deep thought with this piece
And that's a face it fact, now this comment will cease...haha
too easy, breezy blood loss

Despite our insistence
On having them at all.' - well penned, my friend..
These lines are powerful:
God forbid you let them think!
We have not birthed brains
capable of such freedom.
Picture is perfect for this post ~
"We have not birthed brains
capable of such freedom."
Well said and well formed!
I need to read this again -- you're amazing!
"The child grows / Out of her fear..."
very clever - will someone ever survive this "Geopoliticus?"
Or is this the only option, to be the "pretty puppets?"
I love the writing, love the connection with the Dali, and the title is very clever!

āAll that's necessary for the forces of evil to win in the world is for enough good men to do nothing.ā So you tapped into a universal in this fine piece, my friend Tash! Well done. G.

Enjoyed the systematic progression to this great finale:
The prettiest of puppets
Ready to do the biding
Of those that draw the lines.
(..bidding? or playing with biding time?)
And thank you for your kind comments on my words, its been great having such a great knowing of soul sisters in this world through poetry, glad your one of them!

People are afraid of freedom in so many ways, from the powerful preserving their interests to the powerless turning away from their own spirit. Brava!
Your poem is excellent, your message is true and clear.
i could cry thinking of what the future holds for too many children on this planet, especially girls.
an extremely moving piece, Natasha. and great art. love it all!
