Millennium

by The Queen   May 3, 2012


Millennium

Along gold-draped walls
to the brazen doors
stood rows of menacing statuettes
and mechanic men.

Clad in composure
...they all seemed incognizant
of the obnoxious enactment rousing
from the stirring crowd.

Noises begun fusing with clarity
confusion and anger were
bouncing back and forth
from the both mouth of
large ceilings and bearded men.

Suddenly, I found myself
amidst a well-groom, soft-spoken
sea of paladins
on whose lips floated
admiration and unceasing smiles.

Delirious, from the sudden chaos
that had fallen upon me
I, became the protagonist,
whose mouth's not ripe
for dialogues,
drowning in fearful silence
and perspiring palms.

    'incognizant
    of the obnoxious enactment'

    This one had me struggling, lol. I don't know but I guess the sound of it really annoying. Three long words in a raw and the sounds of 'x', 'z' were not poetic. In the first stanza, you put lots of colors and descriptions that, to me, made not much of sense. I don't know if they mean something to you, or they symbolize/refer to something well-known but for me, they were distracting.

    I like Liz's interpretation, although I understood it otherwise. Chaos and city jams, bearded men and your lareg ceilings images gave me a thought of something political. I know that this is far from what you meant. I just got that in the way I'm feeling about the world nowadays, if you got what I mean.

    'anger were
    bouncing back and forth
    from the both mouth of
    large ceilings and bearded men'

    This stanza was realistic. With a pretty interesting image. I loved the mouth of both bearded men and large ceilings so much.
    Mhm. Guess there are some stuff that I coldn't grasp completely till now. Will continue to ponder!

    I love this poem but forgive me if I am wrong with my interpretation.

    I believe that you are trying to express how things are changing and have changed from years ago til now. The idea that machines are taking over our jobs rather than humans. People are losing their jobs because of the fact that humans are not needed in certain roles anymore.

    As for your poem I love the descriptions in there. The use of the words, images and metaphors, it's brilliant! You post a poem sporadically but when you do they always seem to turn out into masterpieces. Awesome write!!!
