Even though I am entirely in favor of everyone understanding and interpreting a poem in their own way, I thought I should add a description to this poem specifically, seeing as it might not be quite as obvious as my other ones.
In this poem I try to show my appreciation for qualities that seem to have been a bit lost in our interpersonal relations nowadays, such as: honor, trust, courage and so on.
We walk around, cellphones in hand, living in a real world as well as a virtual one, where the latter seemingly prevails.
I can't help but think of times when people actually met other people in a meaningful way, when your word actually meant something and didn't have to be proven down to the last subatomic particle.
Sure, part of my childhood was like that, but I was too young to know what I had, so I took it for granted. Now I miss it.
So yeah, that's what I try to say in this brief poem, written in iambic pentameters, where the metaphorical "Alloy" mentioned is simply a combination of everything I enumerated.
I hope you enjoy it!
This is my second story book of poetry after publishing Sitting Under a Torn Umbrella - with a new title and have a new outlook. Now modernization of humanity is found nakedly in every aspect of life. Divine law doesn't follow today. Rather we disobey whimsically, arrogantly, intentionally without pondering over its side effects and destructive result. Effortless effort, coreless relation do raise its ugly head like a poisonous snake. The words like filial piety, cordiality, fraternity, honesty, modesty do not get entry into our so called modern lexicon. Man's faith is being stampeded on foot, hope sinks into dispair, promise is broken, innocuous peace cut into pieces. Hanky-panky, desultory atmosphere forced us to go back to the Days of Ignorance. Hopelessly we do feel pangs of neglect sitting under a torn umbrella.
