An Apathetic Existence
What an apathetic existence
Without his omnipotence radiating beside me
My intentions are weighted with complacency
Where is my martyr?
Won’t you help me believe in this anomaly?
This is a poem I wrote by choosing words first and then creating a poem with those words. I chose words that I had heard mostly in song lyrics that I was unsure about their meanings. After looking up the meanings, I chose words whose meaning had the most importance to me. Then, I started with one word- omnipotence. I put fragments together, such as His omnipotence, apathetic existence, and consumed by complacency.
I used the fragments as part of each sentence and connected the meanings to create the poem. Connecting the fragments was actually very simple because to me they seemed meant to fit together.
Using the words that I had gathered made the process seem very easy. The poem came together without force and with my unconscious intentions.
