Quietly Confronting Society's Madness Poem by DM W
Quietly Confronting Society's Madness
Some now deify vile celebrity creatures.
They conflate the eternal with the mere mortal.
O they spend most of their time chasing futile dreams!
While wiser others are content to simply be.
Like the Taoists, their minds are not filled with endless
Wants and needs. Paradise for them is a world free
From life's constant strains and stresses. They are seeking
A neat, concise world of quiet contemplation.

Spot on Dominic a poem I can relate to as I look around today's zombified society. There's too much avarice and chasing of gaudy bling bling materialism. Your poem thankfully ends with high hopes. 10++ and thank you for bravely saying it as you see it.
Thanks Shaun...I'm hoping this prolonged lockdown changes people's attitudes somewhat. However, judging ny the two mile queue outside of Ikea the other day in Hartlepool which someone informed me about, it's doubtful.
