A Cry in the Wilderness - Exoteric Descent into Iniquity

Today I am sharing some social/political commentary - this poem is in the 'Visions' section of "Shadows on the Carpet".  A Cry in the Wilderness - pointing out what is going on.  Wake Up!  It is still not too late to turn things around.  Just saying....

Exoteric Descent into Iniquity

Good manners and common sense

Are trashed as ineffective

Measures of controlled control

Replaced by political

Correctness masquerading

As concern or compassion

Inappropriate response

Touted as the ultimate

Non-empathic tool du jour

Un-emotive expression

Obtuse communication

Belie clandestine contempt

Synthetic salaciousness

Valid malapropisms

Conditioned complacency

Preclude imperceptible

Declining - descent into

Death of human decency

Welcome to AVR's Sentient Sentiments II

Good Morning and Welcome to my new blog site for AVR’s Sentient Sentiments.   My urls  (www.wordartiste.com and www.wordartiste-avr.com ) are now pointing to this site as Posterous has officially shut down.

I intend to continue to voice my views and share my creativity with you as I did on Posterous.  I hope you will bear with me as I learn to navigate the nuances of this site and that you will continue to follow me here.  Please feel free to leave your comments.

Also, I will do my best to incorporate more bilingual English/Czech posts at the urging of my very large family and friends in the Czech Republic.  To that end, I am slowly (very slowly) translating my poems into Czech – not as easy as it might seem to be.

I am looking forward to continuing a dialogue with you (my existing friends) and with new friends I hope to gain along the way.   

So I say welcome, sit down and have a cup of coffee or tea with me as I open my mind, heart and soul to you.
