An Documentary Inspiration Poem

The following poem was inspired by Blue Apple Theatre Company's

BBC Video of Hamlet Production can be found:

Hamlet, by Blue Apple Theatre

The content below is not wholly endowed with positivity

Some of it is inspired by initial reactions to a beautiful life discovery

That a child born into this world might be less than 'the status-quo healthy norm'

But that is not the whole story, the heart grows with the blossoming diagnosis

Warm scars cover the wounds of once cold looking down eyes

So that the achievement of acceptance and hope can happen

The following rings true 

In this, as in every tale...

How can we love someone, if we don't accept them?

How can we accept someone, if we don't understand them?

How can we understand someone, if we spend no quality time with them?

So it is with love, oft it grows upon us with time

With trials, smiles and understanding

That hope is absolutely...

Necessary

Without Further Ado

Blue Apple Syndrome Seed

Blue rose seed

Prey of great trials
Psalms of grief in harmony

Frail light child song awakening

Prolific doubt can rest easy

Hope rescues shapes

A future at stake

On life's stage

Theatrical rise

Awakened senses

A singing bell defeat

Threat of silence ended

No womb fragile abnormality

Courageous life stage protagonist

Vibrant chiselled portrayed smile

Adversity sculpted honest hero

Waking a family's acceptance

Dramatic acting achievement

Shakespeare's flag to raise

Banner of Hamlets loss

Waking the blue apple

In a mother's eye

From depression

 and nightmares

Of a life lost

Degenerate 21

Hereditary altercation

Would be parents fallacy

Acting on life's diagnostic stage

Narrow view of our god's image redefined

Failed regulated right to life's health check up

Cleansing our Father in heaven chromosome prayer

Genetic disorderly prenatal screening opted misconduct

Fallen blue face struggling to breath face down apple syndrome

Cure for an unavoidably daily wounded mother's heart sick detour of thought

Vocal no more than a singularity moment's never answered thank God wish

Umbilical chords strangling prayers of children by blood's own hands

Academy of cursed angels voice boxes singing holy fire spells

Casting oracle seer's no future for kid killer's incantations

Invoked upon selfish unspoken hive greedy mind psalms

Vomited spiritually defining juncture of spoken words

Gesture messages in a bottle to heaven minted sent

Eternal habitat ran out of hallowed supplies

Bearing the metallic titanium bone weight

Of amputated womb prayer attempts

At selling a child's untested soul

Into hell's unending traffic

Or a divine purgatory

Ghost town colony

A forever prison

Press enter...

To continue?

Blue apple embryo

Seed of immense trials

Prey of narrow God Psalms

Poems wrought of comfort wishes

Where hope lay isolated from joy in chains

Caught between depression and madness

Frail child's life misinterpretation

Weary faith diary unfolded

A Mother's understanding

And love's acceptance

Journal of compassion

She writes now

Nature's dramaturgy 

Teleporting selfish dreams

Disrespectful comfort sickness

Ineffective security wound clots

Weakness ailment  avails no smile

Beauty of dismantling points of view

Transmission of a young life's aspirations 

Hope's cure lingers behind grey clouds

Characters of a hive mind disapproval

Inner cultural norm breakdown

Tempting malady depression

Bad thought habit kick

Invoke a feeble smile

Awe's testimony

Amidst hope's turbulence

Rearranging the illicit sadness tide

Fallen wonder re-established

Wounds peace cauterized

Acceptance discovery

Understanding is...
Sanguine's smile

Eternal

Blue life seed

Stage ever presence

Glittering edged sword

Smile of a newborn combatant

Gene besieged tiny heroic vessel

Malady champion assaulting life's plot

Braving the social intolerant stigma

Tireless faithful smile harbinger

Imposing wondrous charm

From an endless source

A joyous family scene 

Embodying equality

This is acceptance

Expounding

Hope

The Power of Lines

What one simple word spawns,

     Resurrects another from the nether, for an ethereal realm of invisible shadow fires synapses in an overture that holds true to the power of anyone's tale. For as we read another's so too do we relive our own, through smell and sight amidst deaf tones of an uncertain future, humanity must hold true to empathy! So that we might reach out to one another, on this majestic, yet oft overtly greedy and inhumane, sandcastle earth.

Challenging Stereo Art Types

The integration of words,

     While S.W.U manoeuvres its Start Up Self into position to become a world renowned source for the future of Poetry, Spoken Word and mixed media text-art, let us, in the meanwhile, consider what Spoken Word might look like if it we were to read it as if it were produced in said form of prose.

     It might look like the following, holding strongly laced prose to a political, social or inhuman to our earth stance. See below for Malefic Condescension III

Prophetic seer's groan,

     Pure urge of a peaceful vision clause trapped in the heart's of undeserving greedy men who stand as a beacon of apathy at the end of lethargy's dusty hateful rage penetrating nature's light with unkindness house of battle never won dread forever yet naught in a future of cries where inhumanity the only virtue of Avarice bride of the shallow unbelieving who reside above the moral trench wars.

In earnest anticipation of,

     The above is one in a sequence of poems that holds weighty connotation towards a particularly narrow point of unoriginal view, held by so many unhappy folk today. Unhappiness, discontentment, these are the reasons why I delve into the poetic depths and continuously search to inspire the opposition; acceptance, equality, hope...

     Poetry, and in particular Spoken Word, has magnificent well word woven structure, the metaphor and double think (in jest and parody usually) that are lived out on stage, under constant threat of silence, are astounding. The passion to create, the daring to perform... Alone! And yet, poetry's reach is not so grand, at least not yet, possibly it shall never be.

     But that doesn't mean we have to hold ourselves ransom to the threat of silence; not from an audience or praise from our families and friends, for the emotions, the moral trench conviction, all the creativity and passion held within and said allowed or written, are the vehicle for change.

    S.W.U Seeks to utilize the web to bring together poets from all over the world, in all languages in order to promote poetic people's work through recognition, this shall be done through The Auditorium, a 900 Person Spoken Word Server that will be used to host poetry slam competitions, with rewards that you'll be able to keep on your wall, in your desk or pinned to your shirt as you travel the world... Though I think 'pinned' is not quite the right adjective to the function of holding a plaque upon one's favourite check mate T-Shirt.

     In the future we will be delving deeper into what poetry is, where you can take it and how you can utilize so many different options out there to build your confidence... Which is mostly just courage any ways, so yes! Mentor you in courage, I suppose is the correct vernacular.

In earnest anticipation of,
Juton
