Dealing with Poetry to Me is sometimes like a stigmatism

There is something like
how I feel about just about anything
And sometimes when I look at the world
with a stigmatism I get used to it

It helps me not see the train wreck
about to happen

The lack of a profit margin,
The cynical person in me maybe that
see's the thinness underlying exploitation
of the people or in any sought-out purpose
ever to be with fore knowledge

Like an economist who gazes at economic structures
as they do exist and says to him or herself,
what is happening now is structured in
the way we understand the narrative

The going rate, is like a gate
filled with Emily Dickenson's all over
the world feeling so lost these
days it's not even worth writing
poetry for nobody to ever see.

But some do write.
I don't really know what bad poetry is
any more than I know about any stigmatism
people have or to what degree.

Something we all share,
there is a collective in the diaspore
And sure, I understand
how we all need more

and we still don't fully
understand, it seems nobody does,
how to lead

under such a Godless sky -
Ain't that the truth
it seems

Peace!
