The Oh's:


Oh hell!
Oh life!
What's the point?
Point as in start.
Point as in end,
In between, up,
Down, and all around.

We are what we hate.
Beware potatos, sharp objects,
And linen pants.
Praise hypocrites and their
Dirty dog ways.
Oh hell.....
Oh well....





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

Very diferent indeed.  Honestly, I ended up reading the poem over and over, but I can't seem to grasp it all the way.  Dopey, I'd love for you explain to me what the poem is really about.  Thanks...waiting for your reply

(first stanza)
-Ok the first 2 lines are basically saying who or what the poem is dedicated too. To hell, to life. So then the 3rd line asks a question. Whats the point of hell and life? Ok so there's the main question in the poem. Then I continue throughout the stanza to elaborate on what I mean by "point". Point as in the start, end, in between, up, down and all around. That's the POINT that I mean. Everything about POINT is what I want to know about life and hell. What the hell is the point?!?!

(second stanza)
- Ok so the first line simply states something that pisses me off. Whats the point in life if we are what we hate? This is written pretty negatively, but that's the perspective I was in. Then I say what to be afriad of....... potatoes = nature.... sharp objects= death....... linen pants= clothing apparel= conformity to wear clothes= conformity in general.
Then I go on to say that we need to praise hypocrites and their ways. Their Dirty Dog ways, animal related ways. As if to say hypocrites are just a category of "being" in themselves...not even human...but to praise their ways and to subdue to it. (written sarcastically)........ and then i just say as in this giving up tone of writing...Oh hell....like..like im saying DAMNIT...and then the next line is...."oh well"...as if to symbolize just me giving up caring about this whole problem and moving on.


OK SO THERE YOU GO!
BYE!
