You aspired listen
To words true
Of assured veracity,
But what you hear
Be voice at odds,
Self-served askew
In object wanting,
That extends far
Of wisdom’s reach,
While our elect
Said meagre choice,
Of dubious advocate
Adversely foists,
Erroneous postulates
On beings hopeful,
Held beyond limit
Of noetic tolerance!
Poetry on a canapé 
People hear, but they don’t always listen, espicially to the voices who say different that what they think of. So then those of wisdom go on marching in their world, just hoping that one day their mystic side will be seen and recognize. Very beautiful my friend, thank you.
Hey, my friend Delvina! Thank you. Right on the mark… and as well some listen but don’t hear, because they are insecure and thus run away in the opposite direction, while busy thinking of a defence rebuttal, not aware that one is with them and not against them.. Jean-Jacques
None so blind… Great poem.
Those three words says it all… thanks again Paulette!
You have given something for all of us to thing about! Do we listen? Or do we put up walls to block out what we do not want to hear?
It pleases me no end to know, that once in a while what I observe, reflect upon and so express, really does connect as I had hoped it would. Thank you Rebecca, and Paulette, dear ladies for each of your comments that lets me know the connection happen! Jean-Jacques
You have created an amazing place for us to share thoughts and ideas! Thank you!!
Kind of nice to read, in response to a few bits of my poetic endeavours. I am very touched by your generous and encouraging words, and I thank you profoundly for this! Jean-Jacques
It’s such a pleasure, an honest pleasure, to read both of you. There are the words, then there is the spirit of the energy that so invites and welcomes me to your cyber homes. Thank you two lovely talented writers/authors.
I missed the typos. I was using blind as a metaphor for none so blind as those who can not see, none so deaf for those who can’t hear, as that’s what came up from yours as the difference between what we listen to and what we hear. Not sure what the typos were, lol. 😉
It was primarily a wordpress screw-up on the initial post, the while picking up two fusspot details which I corrected right after,because this poem appears in the second edition Matters book coming out possibly tomorrow.
By the way ‘ blind ‘ as a metaphor for deaf and blind, re listen and hear, was the heart of the intent, and right on. Sorry that correction message to wordpress should not have been made to circulate. Thank you Paulette for letting me know.
