So many indistinct lines:
Rules of political correctness
do not hold
and fade away
Ethics so unclear
the media exploiting...
widespread violence broadcasted...
Art vs. Craft vs. Pop culture
where does that line end?
Science vs. Religion
theories that lead only to more questions
with no absolutes.
History
is a mystery of words,
of prejudiced writings.
Even our own pasts
blur with the passing of time
even when committed to the written word.
And all of this objective use of language
is the cause of ambiguity.
My words will one day be a great relic of the past --
A taste of a life,
a sliver of time that is now so long completed;
recorded moments in time
that are not "historical" or "accurate"
but instead, are a record of individual responses to that time.
What is the point of being obscure, vague and ambiguous
unless it is somehow emblematic.
And perhaps it is -
emblematic.....
Perhaps poetry,
in its manipulat
ion of words
its use of ambiguity --
utilizing the indistinct lines of meaning
playing with semantics and syntax --
is the only way to accurately portray
our responses to these times.
