Nescience

by EssenceOfLace   Apr 29, 2008


Existence seems to escalate.
Appearances unfold into what can only be interpreted as guile.
Devotion is wasted into a frightful subterranean ocean.

Treasured moments fall astray
as cherished becomes defend.
Though pride is immeasurable,
worthiness does not validate for destruction.

Chaotic resonance tar minds;
When will tranquility set sail?
Corruption is all that is left.
Betrayal as the extra baggage.

Deteriorated ambiance
of a once compassion filled Mother;
Humble ceases to exist.
There is no stopping point.

What shall be her conclusion?

    All in all, I like the message of the poem a lot. You conveyed truly powerful thoughts through this poem and it is pleasure to read.
    It has narrative tone, it seems to me that every stanza is part of a storyline and the flow threw me off at some places but the whole content justified that.
    I like your choice of words and the imagery that you portrayed is interesting. Your creativity shines through this piece.

    This is my favorite stanza. It holds truly deep meaning and your descriptions here are amazing.

    Whole atmosphere of this piece is overwhelming in a good way- it makes the reader really think about the message of every line.
    I don't like the ending line too much but that is just my opinion. I think that this shouldn't end with unanswered question because the whole tone of the poem is changed in that line.
    Overall, this is great read.
    Keep up!
