THOUGHTS ON A SUNDAY MORNING IN THE RAIN
What’s in a name?
Your name,
your good name,
your fame,
your reputation?
It’s worth more than gold,
than bit-coins,
than “likes”,
than followers
or comments…
Common sense?
Or the sense to be common?
The idiot does not recognise danger
and falls into a pit,
a pit of despair or a cliff.
The prudent man avoids danger,
recognising it for what it is
because he has eyes to see,
lips to seduce,
ears to let sound waves caress
the innermost dancer, dancing in the dancehall of the soul…
Stupidity is linked to the spoiled child,
yet a good whack in the butt will change him,
for growing up stupid,
stubborn,
spiteful
and filled with unholy pride and arrogance,
will guarantee a life of petty crime,
and suffering down the line…
Poor, suffering fool is he who stumbles into the mouth of a gossipy woman,
reputation torn,
willpower devastated,
will he ever recover?
Probably not…
You, follow instead the syllables uttered by the wise,
and think about how to best save them deep inside.
Keep the thoughts,
safeguards the brilliance of the silence,
because you need to raise yourself above the rest
to be the very best…
I hope you don’t think you can find comfort in your riches,
riches perhaps inherited, earned,
or are they ill-gotten gains?
Did you steal from the poor?
Perhaps you’re the cause of all the sorrow, anguish, pain,
that suffer those who wander through your vast domain,
your gardens merely just a fancy trap
for those who lack the eyes of eagles
and fall in un-announced,
asap…
Ever seen a diligent man?
Ever wondered how to overcome
and not just merely survive?
Ever dream of something better,
knowing (as you should) that reality is just a whim,
a few haphazard laws,
a few precepts,
a few beliefs we’re forced to belief.
Theories turned into concepts,
constants that might come and go.
What if you discover that all you thought was true
was a figment of someone’s imagination?
Thinking on a Sunday morning in the rain
might help…

Moderation is the key to a long and healthy life, no? So you are right, not too much thinking and not too much rain… Thanks Malc and a great evening to you. 😊

Hi Francisco, Your poem is truly wonderful, and I wanted to let you know that I regularly review both poetry and visual art on my page. I hope you don’t mind, but I’ve written a review of your poem and shared it there. The link is below. If you’d prefer I take it down, please just let me know, and I’ll do so immediately.
Congratulations on your impressive body of work so far—both as a poet and an artist—and I’m looking forward to seeing even more of your creativity in the future.
Here’s the link to the review.
Best wishes, Adam

So many subjects of great importance and your analogies are so on point. Great writing Francis. I really appreciate this given the climate today but these things are always relevant. Many blessings over the holidays my friend.
