This piece makes me think how far we have fallen. Truth and honesty are somehow becoming a thing of the past. The younger generation is being told lies and having history changed. I think of that when I read this.

The elitist media control the narrative and their slippery shine side of the coin that further fuel the elitist, globalist agenda. Interesting historical perspective through poetry from the French. They gave more than the statue of liberty.

I have read some Rimbaud, and Baudelaire and found them quite enticing, but for Verlane and Rochester, I will add to my "should read list."
As for your writings they are alone in matching anyone else I have read on FanStory.

Thank you for reposting this poem for those of us who missed it the first time around. I had to pause after each stanza and think about it's meaning. You've done us a service by sharing this poem.

Hello, Everett,
I took this poem, and I'm way off I see, as being man's conceit thinking he is more important than other creatures.
my most preternatural self.
For were I not this man I see,
reflected in the dimness of the glass
and had the features of a creature I
might choose; a bear, a snail, a peacock's tail,
or mighty tiger's jungle muse,
then surely I would take the form
of one - and from the human run - (this is why I thought how I did)
Deflecting
guile's deceit the mind of man's profound conceit,
in things that sing of new philosophy.
A grand manipulation of the clueless mind of man.
Good poem, no matter what I thought. :D

Good imagery and descriptive language. You listed many of the philosophies of our times... not sure if you follow any one of these. This poem left the reader feeling slightly hopeless. Not sure what your intent was...enjoyed reading this all the same.

You give me so many laughs old easy, and do you tell people that you used to have more than one account and give yourself six stars, LOLOLOL hahaahhaha And that you actually think these leaden verbose old poems make you a genius, I've actually never met anyone so egocentric. You're an absolute nut case, and that if you get anything other than 5 stars you turn mongrel, hahahahaha Love it!!! But when I was on fastory when you were posting without your number one after your name , you squelched everyone that gave you a four. Try to take them with Grace easy, and stop your lying and pretending to be nice, because I've been on the recieving end of your nasty old heart.
As for your poetry, your stuck in your youth, the sixties are over easy, but then again, your such a genius, you may have forgotten :) and so you churn out all this rubbish from your bi-polar black and nasty nature. You can dish it out and squeal to all your friends when you've had your gargantuan pride rubbed sore, but you can't take it you poor old woos. hahahahaahah hysterical. But, I know all about you, and you are a little lagging girl who winges at the drop of a hat. Guess what easy, Fanstory is nothing, it's full of people like you who can't write anything original, and who all flatter one another, not even using the editor to get out the errors, so get the old drum beat out of your head and stop churning out the same old rubbish. That said, you can go crying to Tom now and then tell all your friends when someone can't stand up for themselves, but me, I have a care factor of zilch. I Just love the laughs you give me, easy.
You must give Tom a fortune to promote your garbage, love it!!! so must he, so off you go and cry into your meds easy. When what you should do is get away from your computer, realize you're not a genius and do some charity work for people less fortunate than you, that will get you off your old tookus. I'm laughing myself silly while I'm writing this, you pathetic old man. So, rave on you crazy lump of coal.

Thank you for sharing this incredible piece. I loved the author notes. Oh my, I had forgotten Baudelaire. Your rhyming, and irresistible flow, made this poem a delight.
It certainly is relevant today, as it expounds on the current dilemma we're in today!

Hi John. I am very pleased you found this post relevant to our American 'dilemma'. I have been a fan of the French poets since I was a young kid. I still read his Les Fleurs du mal cover to cover once a year. He really knows how to put you in a mood. Thank you for the kind comments and high rating John. I am honored. tom
