Lonnie Hicks - Murdering Dreams

Описание

When no one is looking I count the steps in front of my house no reason apparent. I linger in front of photographs that resemble you and I allow cruelly the contrast between you and my present life. Disappointment is harder to bare sometimes in real life catapulting us to alternative realities concocted by our mourning minds which seek those media dreams of the perfect life of escape from the flesh and blood realities surrounding us introducing to us dripping disappointments in self, others and family. How guilt-dripping is this dynamic where reality is seen to be cruelly oppressive compared to those media visions concocted for us by movies and tv. Murdering false dreams is what, therefore, the children must do in order to grow up and become part of humanity. Otherwise a grieving shadow that seeks that happily ever after becomes a mind dripping of false realities. Lonnie Hicks poemhunter.com/poem/murdering-dreams/
