What Will Keep Your Eyes Wide Open? TWB Poetry Contest One

Saggy eyelids of compromised souls enslaved to dollars,
and slumped shoulders weighed down by forefathers,
twist the heart to the debt of the fathomable.
Spines curved to misaligned values like
desecrated Ravens rotting via inside.
Busy streets clogged with concrete
lest we forget we're animals.
Entrapped by the now,
tilling with plow
and ignoring
generations
intoxicated
bowels.

STOP!

LOVE
by Choice
and presence.
Opening to the
wisdom in oghmas
as butterflies pollinate
sweetness in the heir of Gaia's
embrace. Follow the beating Heart
to the footsteps of serenity, like an abode
built around an ancient oak giving space for
lenity to generate doves. Freedom reemerges from
the shadows of discord, mending the broken strings of
creativity and magnetism for empowerment worldwide.
Alternative currencies create collaborative circles of poets.
