Hello everyone.  And more specifically, hello Sunshine.  This is my first attempt, at using what you just tought me.  I hope I have done right.  Besides that, I hope who'm ever is reading this, enjoys the piece.

~Love, Hate, Tragedy~

As you sit at home
Thinking that it's all so safe when you're
At home watching CNN
As our favorite cataclysms play on before our eyes
As the ones who feel the truth within all the

Love, Hate, Tragedy

It is no joke with those that have souls
To those of us that still believe love is a fragile thing
That has the strength enough to stay invincible to the coming
Storm of those that pray on others

Love, Hate, Tragedy

So that they might just feel those feelings from a safe distance
Not having to feel what they do not wish to feel keeping true pain at a distance
Never considering that people still do feel true

Love, Hate, Tragedy

You're all making me want to end this
All the world as it sits and watches with a blank stair as people who feel
Feel the love within their lives as they search for the one
Feel the bitter hatred within wars as each and every event effects our souls
Feel the utter tragedy of it all as the Angels cry out in the night seeing us disregard
All the hopes
All the drams
All of the feelings of the fragile hearts
As they all are the ones to truly feel

Love, Hate, Tragedy

And if you feel so inclined
To go home and wish for the Angels to die
Know that the ones that count most
The ones that mean the most
From all walks of life
Know that within our lives we need
All of the Love
All of the Hate
All of the Tragedy
For to us
All that is left is

Love, Hate, Tragedy.


        Well Sunshine, tell me how I did.  And everyone else, tell me what you all think of the poem.

I bleed, you all read, and may the blood never stop spilling for loss of emotion would be all too damning.
~Joel
