There Is No More...
By Kevork K Kalayjian Jr
There is no more poetry
Love left no traces in memory
It is impossible to be funny
Cynicism has deformed sensitivity
Sex has replaced sensuality
It's all transformed to lack of care
Viewed in the silhouette of body
Listen to the conversational melody.
Wait! What's that fly doing there?
Why does it fly in the middle of
This hospital, white, clean room?
As I was saying,
There is no more poverty
Love has mortgaged memory
Caring has been overwhelmed by sensitivity
Instincts have overpowered sensuality
By reflecting kindness and care
Portrayed as a stuffed animal, a Teddy Bear!
Exhibiting great skills in the agility of the body
Reverberating the proclamation of joy.
Resonating the resilience of bliss!
