Without Words!

THE AUTISTIC´S POEM

(By Karla Wagener on May 16, 2020)

                ¨Peace came upon me¨.

                  From "The Air that I Breathe¨ 
                  by the Hollies.

I see myself more of a victim 
than as a great sinner,

A victim in a harsh and mismanaged world.

Perhaps the best resolution 
is to make a distancing,

Withdraw and find 
a quiet genuine existence

And shall we say savor the words and ideas

Of the great writers, philosophers, 
teachers, and doers,

Those who lead humanity 
towards light and knowledge?

It would be so effectual 
to reveal such an inner world to you,

A world safe and comforting,

So distinct from the dire prognostications

Of a world of materialism, 
obligations, conditionings, revenges,

With so very much violence and abuse.

Move on! Move on!

Into this gracious alluring 
well-favored venue, 
a reconciled position,

Perceiving what truly matters!
