They say you must forgive the one
Who tramples you like dirt
I wonder who decided
Who gets paid and who gets hurt

I can't believe this world is so
Decieved by its own eyes
Just look into the souls of men
And see where danger lies

Where were we going
When we fell into this hole?
Who's gonna lead us
When we haven't got a goal?

Tomorrow seems so far away
Today is just a crime
While we're running out of heaven
And running out of time

And as night descends
We cry



Somebody stop the world,
I want to get off!

Wow...this is a wonderful poem, and I feel exactly like you...

...to hurt, or be hurt...that is the question!

Keep it up.

Waves...amazing hey? Wind blowing over smoothe ocean water creates shear. The longer the wind blows, and the futher the fetch, the more energy gets transferred from the wind to the water. What started off as a breeze 1 000km away, ends up as a glass-faced barrel at some far off beach.

This was a wonderful poem! Well written with an excellent theme. Bravo!  

The one thing we must do in this world is try not to hurt. We have to try our best or we just become one of them. I can bare the pain as long as I know that I have not done the same to another. I also know that someting extrodinary is waiting for me because of the heart I own and because of the pain I have endured in the past. Some things come with a high cost and if we are not willing to pay the price; we will never reep the rewards.

I hope you understand what I am trying to teel you.  




When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shodows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face...

William Butler Yeats

Wow that was a great poem!  I can't think of much to tell you...other than everything happens for a reason, and everything will work out okay in the end.  Keep writing and keep smiling

Wow... this is a powerful piece. I know that the world can be a cruel place to live, but it's up to us to make it better. It's the small things that make this world beautiful, dispite of all the sadness that seems to reign. Keep that in mind. (and smile!!   )
