we all grow slowly into the same person
the originality only being different thoughts of one
mind
who the hell are we and name a good thing weve done
the thought of who we are makes me sick
everything anyone does is wrong
so arrogant to think a whole universe would cater to the needs
of one
but look at us still standing here following the ways of the dumb
but who am i to preach of serving when theres no work to be done
the god you love more than anything,
youve never seen
the drive that opens your eyes
is nothing but false hope and lies
and it never turns out the right way
nothing is ever the right way
i hate the way things are going
look at you
i cant stand what you do
frustrating to watch you waste away
as i stand bewildered with nothing to say
i just wish i could show you a better way
you brag of free will now let me see you use it
and anything youve ever touched, youve managed to abuse it
and your forsake your innocence until you loose it
what the hell is going on
dont just close your eyes
its gone on too long
I hate you
I hate myself
this life is nothing
you will burn yourself out
and when you finally do
youll know what i am talking about
i hate what i see
and it doesnt change
please just change
take it away
go the hell away

WOW! This is one amazingly powerful piece! Some of the lines in this read like a slap in the face, more like a reality check. It's the kind of piece that you have to just read and really take into to fully understand what you are trying to say.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem. Library material for sure.

Hey Paul,
  Wonderful poem...very true. Except one part that I don't agree with... there's always work to be done. Sometimes it slaps you in the face, sometimes it exists quietly. Hauntingly even. But maybe that's just me.   You know how I am. Well, thanks for posting. I'll talk to you later.

Be kind, be true, be bold, be you.

Freedom comes when you learn to live unafraid.

Thank you, all of you.  I appreciate the support. For a detailed highly repetitive explanation of this poem feel free to go to critical analysis
