The Wild & Tame

• Artist: Mlle Shiow Jen
• Description: This was actually about a story I was going to write. The story was set in a dystopian society. The main character was destined to be a prophet and foretell of mankind's redemtion(spelling?) throgh its own destruction. Other children recognize the boy's potential but the adults don't so he's sent to a psychiatrist who actually had similar visions as a boy. So this is is kinda about the two of them. Of course it was all a lot more complicated than ....So tell me what you think of the poem...

He feels a longing
he doesn’t understand. What is this
feeling? It is painful
in its intensity. And he wants to run
so he’ll never lose this feeling
and maybe find what brings him
to this place.

The others are lying,
they are keeping secrets.
They say he needs to be
cured so he can fit and fade
into the crowd. But they don’t
have this longing. And he will
reach out just to know he can feel.

The Darkness and Brightness of the
day are always out to bring him in, its
like a calling and he wants to follow.


Never reach out in case you feel...
...never reach out...never reach
out...never reach out...
This is his mantra. And he won’t reach
out to make sure he doesn’t feel. He tries to hide from this
longing, this joy in the anguish.
And the Blackness of the night and the brightness of the day are
things from which he’ll always try to hide.
He lies and keeps secrets(Don’t let anyone know what’s hiding
behind my mask) .
At night he wakes to a feeling that’s longing him away, and he takes his
pills just to make it go away (but he has never been cured of this)...

...and the beating heart under humanity knows the time is coming...
