Description
this language without
meaning becomes
perception
free of linear thoughts
float your dream
against the stream
this paradox
hidden in nebula
connects us
to a new life
each and every end
every new beginnig
a lie
a human invention
meaningless illusion
we
glorious accidents
in this coincidence
we call nature
no more
than rebellious ants
doubting our task
single neurons
lone neurotics
trying to rule
that
which controls us
This illusion
of the sun spinning
round the world
lives on
surely
the universe must revolve
around us
if not
we stare at the sidelines
go and pick your god
If foolishness
defines humans
then we are
divine madman
worshipping ourselves
with a religious placebo

Interesting, but I tend to differ although it is vey well excellent talent. :)
Fascinating point of view. I wonder if you wrote the text in dutch first, and than translated it, or did you write ) and think' in english right away= I was surprised by the image, because I just created an xd that has the same feeling as your poem ) and image' have. I will upload it later today, allthough I decided yesterday to not upload it Compliments on this artistic expression
Stunning!
Your English is clear, elegant and effective, so say no more about that. I don't think it matters whether or not the reader subscribes to your philosophy [though I concur with much of what you say] ... what does matter is that you write well-crafted poetry with obvious sincerity. I'd like to read more of your work Mike
Well, if dutch is your native language... Goed gedaan!! Dit is een van de mooiste dingen die ik ooit heb gelezen. De manier waarop je je woorden gebruikt,PRACHTIG!!!!!
