Wise Historian
Are the wise looking for a prize?
Or do they spy the sky for a mystery?
Above a book they rise with dim eyes
They write misery but speak liberty
Searching Waves
Don’t know ‘bout radio activity
Why they carve wisemen on the nativity?
Not sure about empathy; I’ve got no pity
Not sure about mayonnaise
Or cashin’ in when I turn a phrase
But you’ll find me six feet under at the end of this maze
left and right gods
Faith in man without faith in God is senseless
Hope in man is bleak
We the people choose left and right gods
Loud gods who are weak
Forgiveness
The pulse of the snare
The hum in the ear
We came to forget
Perplexed at what we hear
Welcome jot
Hi, my name is Matt Antis and welcome to my raw, real and non-mainstream “Poem-A-Day” section of the Ink Jot Kingdom. Daily, I will post a rhyme, song, or an audio recording of impactful, spoken words (but not slam poetry.)
