Mutation
There's silence in the city,
Before the very first light,
And although I'm fully awake,
I still feel the essence of night.
Sleepless hours of thinking
The absolute unpleasantness
Widespread transluscence in light
Like the clouds disliked the sight.
Expecting every acquaintance
To be elevated on tranquillity
Would discompose and knock
My own commensensical stability.
If I were to wake up and choose,
I'd pick up a companionable rose
Than a blunt, controversial knife,
For there's nothingness in strife.
There's no great renowned critic
Than a sound, conscious mind,
Eyeing of the next milestone,
Howsoever hard it is to find.
Discontinuation of a genre
Doesn't conclude an art meagre,
A creative change in personality
Doesn't build immediate affinity.
Genuine audience will attract
And will extend hands to uplift;
They will spare the stated shifts
And will let artists be artists.

Thank you very much Tim, Graham and Uilleam for your comments.
I feel that as we choose to be poets, we choose to be brave and communicative through the help of impactful words, and freedom of thought is one such thing that's an integral part of it, but adding freedom of expression to your art let's that weight from your chest be put out for others to resonate with, or sometimes, oppose, which, like Uilleam has said -"is scary!"
And, thank you for all those who liked this, it means a lot to me.😊
