Life, the Obstacle Course

Leaving It Blank, a Poem in Two Parts

Translated…

I.

Turning Off All the Televisions, the Radios, the Computers, the Laptops, and the Cell Phones

To Allow the Stuffed Up Ears, Eyes, as Well as Our Minds

To Take a Breath as a Release

Leaving Something Blank

sometimes, we all need it…

For All Our, Already, Too Stressed-Out Days

Because modern day people are constantly bombarded by the high-tech gadgets, we’d become, compelled to, check our cell phones every minute of every single day, without knowing, that these high-tech products now, owned us.

2.

Turning Off the Television

There Won’t be Any Ricocheting of Bullets Flying All Over

not my photo…

No More Voices Screaming Out, to Vote for So-and-So

No More of the Multi-Colored Parties at War

Leaving Just that Calming Light Reflected on the Snows in the Early Mornings

This is still, from being bombarded with too much that’s going on in the world right now, the presidential elections, the wars all over the places, and, sometimes, we just all, need a break, from all of this madness, to keep ourselves sane.
