Lost: The Language of My Mind

By Jimmy Exilien

In a blinding obedience
The world follows the one who is himself lost
we are those idiots who run to our loss
The system is to rebuild
What I said
I said it
We can’t expect anything better
From this world
Everything has to be done again,
We must rethink this system.



The poems of Jimmy Exilien put in voice our worries before the often-tragic spectacle of the modern world.

Overview

The title Lost can be understood in two different ways: concerning the author and relating men to God. First, regarding the author, he is lost in the transversality of the themes he chooses to use.

Then to men, Lost must also be seen under two angles. First, I speculate a bit on the ambivalent and perpetual duo (God and Satan) who want to control men. So it refers to abstraction, metaphysics, or even spirituality for Christians or believers. Second, Lost refers to something more concrete—the reality or what we face in our daily lives in the US, Haiti, and the rest of the world at a global level, such as hunger, insecurity, environmental problems, political interference, and finally the tragedy of escalating and incessant wars.

These facts frame the spirit of the book. Lost is an exercise of profound expression on Christianity, spirituality, and social issues.
