Hollow Dignity (Poem)
Wispy
Gossamer thing
I call your name
Your name is pride
How fragile thy wing
Will it lift to fame
For honor you tried
Squared away, halo effecting
Dignity’s shame
Drowned by the tide
Of all you’re neglecting
I call you by name
O hollow
Dignity’s shame
The land is fallow
You’re marching again
Honor you’ve stolen o Pride
Now one and the same you lie in grave
So shallow
You fool
You slave

I like how this one ends. I’m listening to the Yoshida Brothers right now. You ever scour the poetry blogs listening to a good instrumental piece? Sometimes they just click.
(The Song is Fukaki Umi No Konata, if your curious. It doesn’t seem like it should fit but I like the juxtaposition).

Yea. I listen to the Cure, or Glenn Gould, or anythin’ really as I read. Those little moments of synchronicity when something falls in to place are always nice.
The song is sort of melancholy and reflective at first. That part fits. But it does that Asian Jazz Fusion thing which can sorta work as a ‘blase acceptance’ Zen mindset. LOL. Boy do I sound pretentious. That statement should come with hipster glasses.
But yea…everybody has a different mental landscape. That’s what makes life interesting. Glad you enjoyed the poem and thanks for sharing the music and commenting.

Yes exactly–melancholy but sorta jaded. Don’t worry about pretentious and I was into hipster glasses before hipsters were 😉
