Society .vs. the World:


I see you through the window, you seem happy Mrs. North.
I see your wrinkly body dance.
You seem to contradict your sadness.

Your sister South isn't doing too well.
You could help her but you won't.
Keep dancing!
Although I heard of your cousin West.
He's wounded from war.
His inner rage accumulates as history is made.

Keep dancing Mrs. North and pay no attention to your son East.
He's doing great but his wife is black,
And that goes against your beliefs.
Don't stop dancing Mrs. North
I'm watching you daily in every way.

You amuse me.
You make me realize that my life is not the worst, thank you.
Let me introduce myself, I'm Mr. Society.




I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Wow! I really dug this one. Quite possibly one of the most original things I've seen around here. My feelings on society somewhat parallel the message of this poem althougb maybe not quite as cynical. Still though, brilliant job. Loved it.

*Is thoroughly amused by the dancing tiger*

“Whoa…pretty tiger…”

Yeah, society sucks…down with society!   Hmmm, of course  that would lead to utter chaos…Yay FOR UTTER CHAOS!!!

Yes definitely original and spiffily neato… Cheers to you!
