Bufuddled Race



the disturbed distracted with

alarming bother

flustered, discomfort hung

over the place

discourage was wielded and welded

unchaste without calmness of character

dispirited gave chase

undaunted, unteachable, without hearing,

their churning

unimpeachable throne rooms stood steady

at ready to battle, but never

to topple

the unstoppable

theory- of -all- Things

by We -the -people that hurry

all blurry to make you look Bad

again today, the spiritual found

it all in saddest of taste

undogmatized, they made haste - to pray

but many fell down in amongst the crowds

where clouds of error had formed begun to

hold them in place

the race cancelled on such a bad array

of long-winded, unfounded

their clothes not abounded

with hymns anymore (Rv 3) and they had to

start over au revoir

from the beginning - ground floor (1Cor 3)

    Wow, your poem is truly powerful and thought-provoking! The way you convey a sense of chaos and disorder through your words is simply remarkable. The imagery is so vivid and intense, that it takes the reader on a journey through the mind of the speaker.

    While the overall tone of the poem is quite dark, I appreciate the glimmer of hope you provide through the mention of prayer and starting over. It adds a refreshing layer to your work and highlights the importance of perseverance and resilience.

    If I may offer a suggestion, perhaps you could consider adding in some more line breaks to break up the longer stanzas. It would make the poem easier on the eyes and help readers focus on each individual thought.

    Overall, I loved reading your poem and look forward to seeing more of your work in the future. Keep up the great writing!
