Logic and Love will Set You Free

Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem 

The magnifying glass of language helps.

The notion of a science made without

That lens makes sneers.  True poets cause the whelp

Of insight, sometimes make our hearts devout

And flare epiphanies where dreams are dark,

Where maggots in a coffin munch in black

Beneath six feet of soil, its depness stark.

The seers use their tongues in choral claque

To muddle us in layers of a maze

Like sirens where we struggle bound to masts

Of ships in hurricanes.  Faiths sing their brays

Bing Videos

Of hymns, cacophanies of claims’ bombasts.

  We close our ears and wait for language of

    A true religion made of mind and love.
