Hard life

A good person living a hard life,
Isn’tthat how it always is.
All the assholes in the world getting the breaks .
All their promises broken,
Where love is just a token
And hardship is a lifestyle.
With the unruly control it all.
Where do I go from here.
With all the big stars running from the past
That everyone else is stuck in.
The world has become an insane place
Where rulers are ruled
And we are helpless to watch
As the things around us fall apart.
Due to secrets keep
That could have been spoken
And things that could have been done
Left unfinished

Welcome to Passions.
Stick around and enjoy the variety. May you encounter many poetic friends in here.
CHEERS!

"Where love is just a token
And hardship is a lifestyle."
Can't say I agree, but token love is only one kind of love people may write about.

Isn't that the sad truth, though, that all the rich [editing self] get away with everything; while the "normal" people get stuck in last place? Very nicely done!

Hm..  Interesting.  Somewhat remeniscent of some Biblical psalms.  At any rate, welcome to Passions.  Hope we all learn a lot from each other.

no one really lives on easy street.
everyone's got their demons.
we all got things to atone for.

enjoyed this though. hardships are demons only by comparison i guess.

enjoy your stay here at pip, however long it may be.

it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown

everyone suffers, life is suffering
but its really how you look at things
that colors your take on it

Tammy, Never know if someone's poem is their own experience or an observation, however, I started at the back of the pack, and I've turned out to be a nice person in spite of hardships, past and on-going. A's are given more cause they don't have as much spirit as you and I????? Now, what fun would that be! No challenge at all!

Never say die and never cry uncle....
just work your own  'a' off, and you will be just fine.....write down some goals and a deadline to achieve them...when you do, do it again...

I like your poem in that it causes one to think and that is one sign of what a poem should do!

Am looking forward to reading more of your work.

Thank you for this. Enjoyed the thoughts.

Hugs and warm regards, Pat

..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..

A true klingon!

Liking the responses to this poem.  Once again, lil devil, thanks for sharing this one.

"Due to secrets keep that could have been spoken" I particulary like those lines. Very good poem.
