New Rules : Personification Poetry

written by Poet : louis_in_nc


Reality approaches with the rumble of a vicious sound

Subtlety precocious as it closes in on hallowed ground

It’s mildly atrocious like a neglected angry hungry hound

Its insanity contagious as it announces that it’s now around

 

What in life denotes the “normal” or the “average” truth

What remains informal as we educate our troubled youth

How can we be cordial and refrain from acting so uncouth

Will my life be stigmal from this point now on I play the sleuth

 

Oddities and levities exist to show us different lives

Juxtaposed calamities which blur the vision in our eyes

Future possibilities seem dismal yet are no surprise

Displacing our Humanity with generally accepted lies

 

Gilded innuendos have been force fed by the media

Holding truth in repose as it changes the criteria

Never being exposed as it expands into hysteria

Leaving us to dispose of the logic in our area

 

Life becomes ungracious once reality has settled in

Undeniably outrageous it denotes my own internal sin

Just in time for Christmas it’s a new life which I must begin 

Push aside the bleakness as I embrace the demon held within

 

I live with a duality, two separate lives contained in one

On the uneasy edge of brevity, It is the life I have begun

My condition noted brusquely for I know it can not be undone

Determined to stay healthy as the demon holds a smoking gun

 

Medicated sustenance to help contain the beast inside

Unaccustomed hindrance that lashes out at fragile pride

Life controlled by temperance without a single place to hide

It is the life long sentence with new rules which now I must abide
