Carnal desire rules, there's no denying it.
Material needs really don't stack up against the needs of the flesh and that good old primal urge.
And the plight...yes, HARD to ignore something that just plain don't go away. Oh, you can try your damnedest...but when something gets under your skin and you just can't shake it...well, there's no way out, no if's no butts...time moves and exteriors change...but by God, the interior burns the same. You know it's damned hot, probably way too hot and you are so gonna burn in hell but...you do it anyway.
Yep...chance enough, my man. Your screwed! LOL er figuratively speaking of coure...teehee hmmm...

An excellent photo of two ducks, Adam and Eve, that complements your poem perfectly. You describe in a poetic form evolution and more. Great poem.

A very well-written poem. We need material things to a certain extend to survive on a daily basis. When it is getting out of hand is when we want more than we really need just to boast with our friends. The real treasures we need is free and within ourselves.

A fine poem of epigrams and proverbs woven together to discuss a narrative of a couple. Your poem has a 2001: A Space Odyssey-range from evolution to astronauts. Your poem probes the nature of things and of relationships. OI love the flow of your words and your ending is stellar and evocative. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Victor.
As usual, this is highly original and thought provoking. Fine unique free verse style. A bit enigmatic (in a good way).


Love this voicing:

What matters the brain
without lobe right

Evolution gains
but lacks insight

and so our plight
begets mutation

Fine random internal rhyme too.


Interesting lines:

A way to change
but not the will

Appearances differ
but none within


Powerful:

The only hope
is no way home

No one to be bought


LOVE THIS:
Just love
and our two astronauts


Powerful closing...I suggest not using a cap on FOR since it continues the sentence with fine enjambment:

Burn engines bright
and light our graves

F(f)or we were given
chance enough

for...
change.


the is an intense contemplation of our current times. Climate crisis is the worst issue humanity has ever faced and we're not doing enough about it. Incredible to think how many deniers there are, too!

Good wake up call poem.

Blessings, rd

I do believe that intellectual ability without empathy is an empty kettle, and I feel that is the sentiment in this poem, although I am not sure what the connection between the recent death of John Glenn and change is. I am sure the lack is mine as I enjoyed the 'feel of the poem'

A somewhat depressing view of humankind....Actually there are a lot of right-hemisphere thinkers in society who have little control over the antics of the masses...We do not need to start over...just convert the left-hemisphere...Interesting poem..

    You are right, but how to do it? The masses are always the conunfrum. Massively ignorant but the only group powerful enough for change.
