Addressing The Thoughts Of My Mind Poem by Kgomotso G Daweti

Addressing The Thoughts Of My Mind



These are the turbulent times
These times that are so twisted
My brothers and sisters
These are my blisters

My blistered Mind's so weighted
Waiting for the visuals that
The Third Eye has created
Because the internet made
Grey Matter a Grey Area
Making our visions Faded

These Times
Where all we watch is Tel-LIE-vision;
Where, Living to end Lives is our
Only Mission. Hugs and Kisses?

X's and O's were never Real. Love?
We replace the 'O'
With a selfish 'I'
So all we do is 'Live'; backwards
So we're all 'eviL'.
But what the 'F', the other way around
You Realise Without the 'V' it's
Just 'Life'

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The poem was written while I was in class and, like all artists and poets, getting lost in my own thoughts. The first paragraph was taken from a phrase that my older cousin made me memorise as a 5 year old. This is one of my favourite writings and was fun playing with words once again.
