"Cauldrons" (in order)

The order of this AM poems/prose - c/ork
“Cauldrons”

 

cji

1/26/13

 

(Prelude:

 

Over time and space reviewed

applications found to be varied

imagery and superstitions found

easy to use in plays and tales;

 

Functional once now this pales

throughout history to abound

many too large to be carried

therefore their usage renewed!)

“Cauldrons of the Mind”

 

cji

1/26/13

 

Calculating and conniving

seeking shortcuts in life

burning fires found in envy

decrying another’s happiness

lustfully to destroy good

cauldrons of the mind

intensifying with disgust

while without any remorse!

“Cauldrons of Incompetence”

 

cji

1/26/13

 

Mixing a brew of intolerance

absorbing power in their lusts

forgetting the purpose to serve

demanding all to serve them;

 

Becoming tasteless as phlegm

apathetic and without verve

having lost the public trusts

cauldrons of incompetence!

“Cauldrons of Indifference”

 

cji

1/26/13

 

Where one should care the most

Within the family and home lost;

 

Forgotten the purpose of this life

Severed in oft abortions knife;

 

Divorces the choice of the weak

Unwilling to covenants keep;

 

Cauldrons of indifference today

While in the dark none do pray!

“Cauldrons Provocative”

 

cji

1/26/13

 

Dismissing concerns of the worthy

ignoring the pleas of the honest

cauldrons of the world still boil over

burning hot with envy, greed, lusts

continually fueled by the powerful

cauldrons provocative able to entice

tempting the indolent and ignorant

promising the preparations good

allowing tastes for free to begin

minions of the adversary to grin

deceiving one and all sometime

then blackmailing within the mind

evil done once can be done again!

“Cauldrons of the Mind (2)”

 

cji

1/26/13

 

History’s lost the true meaning

illusion and imagery now here

words to display in variations

hardened in the heart of many

once of utility and with purpose

now cauldrons rusting alone

material items of the worldly

while the cauldrons of the mind

demand daily – hourly satisfaction!

“Cauldrons (2)”

 

(Epilogue:

 

Gathering and scraping the rust

finding iron beneath the surface

cleaning out the cobwebs-dust

seemingly done al to efface;

 

Modified with pitting and time

cauldrons becoming planters

blooming flowers and thyme

no longer used by enchanter’s!)
