Poem Body
Eyes express horror with tears
when pointless words fail,
unmitigated disaster derailed
the daily news what truth to refuse.
Opinionated reporters, propaganda confused
immersed in beliefs, common ground
parting reef, truth the giver that
seeks the thief pressurised relief.
Venting reprisal, the undeniable
revealed history conceived
rebuffed to confuse
the moral choose.
Bound and gagged by rules
taught in everyday common schools
opinions abused, thought as much to allude
the unaccountable that protrude.

I fear,
I fear the truth is hidden from us, there are certain people who want control. They manipulate the media, as well as schools and the workplace, telling us what they want us to hear. Your poem is correct, just what is the truth. Great write.Regards Roscoe...
hi there
" just what is the truth " is exactly the question
I was just thinkings out of the box on this one lol
they say the truth shall set us free
but who asks what real truth is ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,zigs

Zigs,
you really make this piece interesting. Your failure to use grammar makes this superb, as you can read different meanings into the lines depending on where the reader decides one line finishes and the next starts. This structure is difficult to do and you are the only one I know of who can produce this style and leave the reader in awe of the subject.
I don't think it needs any alterations from where I sit.
Love this stanza:
Bound and gagged by rules
taught in everyday common schools
opinions abused, thought as much to allude
the unaccountable that protrude.
The 'bound & gagged' truly shows how we think we are free, but actually are fettered in chains that we can't see.
I really like this piece, from a subject, and structure point of view and as for the meaning behind the words...I get it, believe it and bow to your excellence in this writing.
Good job my friend,

hood, you summed this write
hood, you summed this write up with this "The 'bound & gagged' truly shows how we think we are free, but actually are fettered in chains that we can't see. you should use this " we are free but fettered in chains that we can't see"
I like that, you know me. I STRIVE to be different, as I have no interest in saying the same old thing in the same old way, my style is hard to explain it just makes sense to me lol, I find it hard to take praise it must be the Irish
in me lol, ,,,,,,,,cheers dan your comments do always interest me either way ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,zigs
The News ....
I usually listen for what isn't said,
it seems to be of more value than what is ...
this one causes one to think Ziggy,
and that's always a good thing.

I do a bit of that too, am glad it makes one think ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,cheers ,,,zigs
Dear Ziggy,
Bound and gagged by rules
taught in everyday common schools
opinions abused, thought as much to allude
the unaccountable that protrude.
From the very start of our educations we are taught not to think outside the constraints of the curriculum. Indeed we are often punished for having thoughts of our own and even more so for challenging the status quo. Bravo, my dear friend!
love, Cat
hey cat
you hit the nail on the head you got this one straight away
my thoughts exactly cheers cat have a good weekend ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,zigs x
