Disorderliness

Toys are the impliments of babies,
The old grandpa  too likes the toys,
Both have no teeth, both wave
Their hands to show innocence,
Both run,  jump, play and dance,
Rock and roll.  Life cool and strong,
Rife now is the rift, broke out the storm,
Etiquette shattered, Nature scattered,
The Sun shines yet, without decorum,
Nature, why are you so lawless?
You make the old equal to the new,
You make the old like a child?
You make rhythm to the pulses
You break it to break the heart,
When rhythm changes, anarchy
and death are born.  Then we say
Orderliness is disorderliness,
Peace is war, laughter sadness,
Light darkness, truth is false
Everything topsy-turvy, feast famine!
Paradox is not a biological clock!
Thus I became a philosopher.

i think your poem is great,I

i think your poem is great, I thought the use of language and theme were really cool. the opening made the rest of the poem a suprise in theme, i thought it was going to be a sweet family poem. It reads a bit like being on a roller coaster!! vix

I am

in the midst of the rhythm; but old enough to be aware of the impending decline; my parents once represented the whole world now they don't quite fit and seem more and more comfortable with the grand kids. I had to chuckle at your closing as it is so true; I don't think I have ever heard of a young philosopher. Smiles ken
