Status Quo

More ramblings, thanks for comments or suggestions.

I am not the enemy, he says

The words bounce off blank stares

Shouting NEXT moving past it

Unwilling to hear this idea

Or to struggle with its possibilites

An enemy is easier to live with

Than a person opposed to status quo

I got a few of their early albums but went off them when they became too commercial.......

Actually, all joking apart, I can truly empathise with you. Another smart rant.....Neville

I like this a lot. There is a clever venom throughout. At the end of the day you live and die by who you are. In the end so be it. Nice work.

[Karen Redburn]

Thank you for the kind comments. Venom, ya I thought it was toned down from my usual, but you may be right it is present in the words. Thanks again, cheers!

[duff]

You are very welcome. My pleasure.

A profoundly perceptive perspective.
Unfortunately, the Establishment's initial reaction to change is to destroy the change agent; eliminate anything or anyone threatening its perceived stability.
After much damage and even, lives lost, the Establishment eventually--inevitably--presents that change to the world as its own innovation.

[Karen Redburn]

Surprisingly this was inspired by a domestic situation I am party to. I reread the piece and realized how right you are. It seems we are guilty of this on both the micro and macro levels. Thank you for the nice review. Cheers!

[sette]

very much true. this is a unique piece of writing karen. political in nature but still being expressed creatively.

[Karen Redburn]

Thank you. As mentioned in my reply to a previous comment. The piece is based on a domestic situation and I was startled by the comments on how political it really is. Gotta love the words, huh? Cheers!
