Poetry In Motion

TEARS, SWEAT AND BLOOD!

, , , , , , , ,

I am the man rising from the ashes of darkness,
The voice of awakening calling from the sheath of blackness,
The mind, the soul, the idea, the thought caught up in oneness,
The truth, the light, the love, the wisdom of selflessness,
'Darkness is not evil, it is the beauty of nightness'.

I have mused through worlds and worlds of universes,
Flashes of injustice, illusions of reality is the order of this existence,
A hunter's bow, a hunter's arrow is the emblem of this habitation of sorrows,
'In the holding of the creator, is life and perfection',
Man is just tears, sweat and blood.

Toiling the evils of day,
In sweat he taste honey of its sweetness,
Illusioned by religious dogmas,
In tears is his prayer to the gods of his beingness,
Conned by democracy, politics,
In blood is his struggle to survive the life race,
Pressing the flesh for opportunities sake,
Man is just tears, sweat and blood.

TEARS, SWEAT AND BLOOD!here we are

The order of the day for man exiled in the forest of errors, the habitation of sorrows.

@Eddy: I write my soul, my thoughts, the ideas hidden within me, the experiences of life and its meaning, and I call it poetry.
Thats my reflection

you are really great with displaying things such as pain and sorrow and much more. I found all your poems really good.

it is the visualisation of pain that man comes in touch with his soul, whilst happiness is man's ultimate goal in life to self actualisation, he is never wiser than when he is at a loss, in agony and in doubt of himself. There has never been any time in history of man that has made him more in touch with his Creator or a sense of wanting to belong, than in wars, famine and death. It is but a shadow of thought i chase, i have no real understanding but only to say that that Ode shows a sign of suffering and fighting spirit, a soul desperate to find identity and self liberation as well as external liberation from the bondages of discrimination ans recrimination.

@Kelvin: thanx for the analysis and obsavation, your words are full of wisdom.

kelvin mukukukmukuku Sunday, July 10, 2011 10:42:40 AM

i happen to be a poet in my own right, i shall post one of mine later on.

There is a place in every man that only God and God alone can occupy. God is the maker of our souls and our souls shall find no rest until they rest in Him.

Michelle Butlerniffensgirl Sunday, July 10, 2011 6:08:56 PM

yes i agree. You should check out mine

haeslop Sunday, July 17, 2011 7:25:42 PM

i find your poems filled with sentiment...but only sad ,painfull emotions.i believe that in lifw there are somw of us chosen to be artists and we are given this talent to imitate,portray,and influence "LIFE"...so that the rest of humanity can derive from our art, a sense of purpose for their lives. So ART IMITATES LIFE, AND LIFE IMITATES ART. You my friend have a duty to GOD and mankind to let your poetry reflects all facets of life ,all emotions,so that those who are givwn to reading your work, WILL UNDERSTAND THAT BALANCE,IS IMPORTANT.WE DONT JUST BEMOAN THE SAD STATE OF THE WORLD EVERYDAY,CAPITALISM'S GREED,IMPERIALISM'S CORRUPTION AND EXPLOITATION, WE ALSO TAKE TIME TO APPRECIATE A PRETTY SUNRISE OR A BREATH TAKING GOAL IN THE SPORT OF OUR CHOICE...OR WHATEVER WE DO. SO BALANCE YOUR SUBJECT MATTER... BECAUSE AS A POET OR MUSICIAN OR WRITER...YOUR ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO GIVE YOUR READERS HARMONY AMID THE DISILLUSIONMENT THAT THE MODERN SOCIAL ESTABLISHMENT BRINGS. (ps the word is disillusion", you used illusion when you should use disillusion

@Haeslop: I read your observations and analyses of our brother Joshua's works with keen interest. While not condemning your judgment of balanced thoughts, I feel you should understand each poet or artist has his/her brand of trade mark. This, Joshua has brought to the fore. You should appreciate his works from idealists' perspective, not realists. It's here that truth and creation find a union in the absolute. Thanks.

Hey everyone can you check out my page and leave me comments

joshua munyaradzi mimanasirjosh Monday, July 18, 2011 3:41:09 PM

Though my writings express a lot of pain, sorrow and sadness, within them is the truth of life, the beauty of understanding God, the wisdom of goodness and the meaning of mystries hidden within the natural.
Art is within us, it is our feelings, it is the world we see deep within our souls, when we express it, we are revealin the hidden truths of life and existance,
All that I write is inspired by life and meaning,
Readin it closely from an idealist's perspective, for I am an idealist, u will see the beautiful meaning of life within it,
Thank you Haeslop for your coment, I write to awaken the souls trapped within the comforts of this illusioned world,
Ekpe: thank u for understanding my work and its meaning, everythin that touches the heart is beautiful.
