BELIEFS, BELIEVING, FANTASY

There’s something up his sleeve

though you cannot see it

and you don’t hear the lies he’s screaming…

Believing is safe,

secure,

acceptable,

you’re adapting to society’s norms,

and with obedience you follow,

making you quite

respectable.

But you believe in fantasies,

things that will never be,

things that will never happen.

They are not the things you’ve seen

or heard.

The world is turning with their lies

and submission is for the unwise.

Submission to the lies rich men proclaim,

my God!

Good grief!

They drive me insane!

If there ever was a human on the moon,

it wasn’t a man,

it was a woman…

    Your paintings lately have really gotten into the Yellow Submarine, sea of green, very mysterious. I like the poem also.

    1. «And we live a life of ease in our yellow submarine…» Well, the poem does allude to fantasy… Thank you so much Pat. All the best!

      2. That sounds exiting Sir! A new project is always an opportunity to let creative juices flow and experiment. I too am starting a new canvas today and doing some experimenting of mine own. Best of luck with your new endeavour and all the best.
