Theatrical Thesis

Theatrical Thesis…

Two lines into a poet’s song can say more
to me than a thousand preachers preaching
like the speed of light is invariably faster
than sound from a thousand tyres screeching.

So please switch on the light at speed,
as I have only one minute in mind.
As all of you know the worlds great need,
is for people to be more tolerant and kind.

The minute I speak of can only be mine,
though time can’t ever be mine alone.
A minute is only relative to what we define,
a clear conscience, a true feeling, a stone.

I never know where these trains of thought go,
weird, they pop into my head and take root.
I was quietly trying to relax for just a mo,
when all of a sudden I switch on and reboot.

Words fall onto the page and slowly emit,
not all of it makes sense I’ll admit.
But I’m just a writer who cares for our planet,
and the sometimes senseless creatures upon it.

Why have I just written words
in such a sequence
because after all they could,
be typed another way ?…
