Remapping Morals

by Exostosis   Jan 1, 2012


I seek not clarity. Man's vicissitude follicles his immediate tomorrow
I may assay, quantify the extremities of today, but what about cruel
time. It teases the statistics of my diluted present

Everyone is but a particle swaying destructive and
resentment is the resident between the gallows of heart
while skepticism throbs as a malignant splinter
deep within the channels of segregated morality

We twirl within the 49th octave of electromagnetic vibrations
but our words linger between two ticks of a clock and
the plasmic solar flares, they continue to violently shatter
my canvas of morals

Tranquility is now the virtual fantasy I have been meaning to wove
against all odds, that man may someday see beyond his energetic lust
that amidst the fabrics of this cosmic realm, leaps a lonesome hope

And I wish for this hope, to be the nexus of conscious bonds
which have endlessly been cast away into the furnace of hatred
built brick after brick, by the hands of one another

I seek peace. Man's faculty overgrown formulates his immediate mortality
I may trace, map the extremities of today, but what about cruel
time. It clogs the orifice to my thoughts.

------------------------------------------------

Note : As humans, we are said to exist within the 49th Octave of Vibration of the electromagnetic light spectrum. Below this range are barely visible radiant heat, then invisible infrared, television and radio waves, sound and brain waves; above it is barely visible ultraviolet, then the invisible frequencies of chemicals and perfumes, followed by x-rays, gamma rays, radium rays and unknown cosmic rays.

I have written this poem for myself. Not restricted to a structure, form, or flow.

    Somehow leading or depicting to a new level of consciousness. Great job! 5/5!

    Yip we have to remap morals etc to restore human nature-the peace and love we need to log onto the frequency of the Universe !

    This is one of those poems which delves deep into the lines of a deep thinker and in turn makes the reader think about things. Very...very like TJ said I too can't find the right words! Excellent!

    I love poems that really make me think.

    I read this as though the writer believes we should go beyond the normal way of our thinking and our morals.

    You mention the idea of tranquility as being a fantasy rather than something we can actually achieve in our own lives. This is brought by our own morals and values.

    I love what you have written.

    A few words I had to look up but that's OK because it allows me to have a deeper understanding of what you are writing about
