spiritual reflection


GLORIFY THE SHACKLES

I read them but my prayers
couldn't be news of tomorrow

nor could the images mean
surfing channels with coffee

at the day's end can't reflect
something positive to take

pride in myself, justifying
the age or hours; just prolong

the animal existence
prove worse than animals with

smallness of mind and concerns
forgotten like news flashed in

media without vision
glorify the shackles of

darkness, bluff God and humans
yet ignite minds with flickers

A reflection which indirectly poses basic questions about the meaning of our existence. "Glorify the shackles of darkness" is an excellent expression.

mmm animals - we are exactly that, even though we have lrger minds than the others on the planet, we are still animals. i agree though with the media - they do tend to focus on nothing but darkness, well mostly, hardly ever do we see news of the positive nature, they should show more things like that, it would lift spirits.
