Right off the top of my head...I've been doing that a lot lately. Oh well, here goes...

I live in a world
That is not my own
I observe quietly
But I speak no words

I am a nonconformist
Living in a messed up world
Where it's cool to be different
Yet we all end up the same

So much hate and violence
But no one turns their head
Everyone's so used to it, sadly
Will this really be the end?

Will the future be just like us?
Or will they be even worse?
Until they tear apart this world
But they surely won't be the first

I live in a world
Where the sun don't shine
The troubles and hate
Makes the sky eternally black

We're used to it now
So it's no big deal
But look around you, look closely
And you'll see how sad it really is.

I love your poems.

It is a sad state of affairs this old world is in, isn't it? We..as a human race...are so close yet so far apart. I often wonder if it is right to bring children into this mess.

Look forward to more..

Yeah, sometimes I am so amazed at how messed up the world is...and now we're even more divided because of the Bush/Kerry thing. It's red vs. blue states, a modern day Civil War, and then we have feuds over this war in Iraq, and everything has gotten way out of hand. Today, the realization of it all just hit me, and this is the product of that.

On a brighter note, I'm so glad you like my poems! That made my day! I'll be looking out for your work as well

I like the way your words are so tightly correlated with the way things are
they are so 'Like it is', straightforward and unapologetic.

Will wait for you to post more of your work.

Thanks, Rkay! I like to tell it like it is, whether it be harsh or sweet. I think that's because in person I'm shy and very apologetic, so in writing, I can be as staightforward as I like without being judged. Thanks again for reading and I shall see you around!
