Thoughts for the Fourth of July

[nibbed]

Hi Erthona. This is a WOW of a poem, but most your poems are...always an air of mystery and a bit scary, too.


We created a Leviathan to defend our Freedom.             ----I like you used leviathan.
An ugly brute, powerful, but clumsy.                                ---clumsy?
We gave it some of our Freedom,                                    
to secure our security,                                                      
and those Freedoms that remained.
This parasitic relationship worked well...                            
for a time.

As Generations passed,
we forgot what an ugly brute
our Leviathan was.
We began to think its ugliness,                                           -----a change of perspective?
beauty.

We called it Mother,                                                             -----clever.
and it consumed us.


Thank you for a very wonderful poem to read.
It is difficult to pick apart anything that you write.
You are very comfortable with your pen, and gifted.
Have a wonderful evening. Janine
