muttering alone

if you dont know be

enlightened on the componenet of

the human heart,a left chamber

of deceit and a right other of

envy,all four corners of what

is totally evil,and backbiting indeed,

so,than a spread of the precious

weedings of your own innermost heart

since you cant speculate whose aorta

be near or miles away,it is

good and reasonable, im sure, to

sit quietly alone and mumble softly

to yourself,and talk your vision and

truths alone,for the futures cause

Hi emeka...

First of all I would like to welcome you to Neopoet, I have taken the liberty of looking at your profile. I would like to ask you if english is your second language because I am having a real problem following what you are saying in your poems...maybe its cultural differances. I will say that this poem I could follow...and I have to agree with Chrys. I do hope I have not offended you in any way as that is not my intention.....and again I would like to welcome you.
