Under the Influence

Some come ...
and some go
yet leave behind stirrings,
needing to grow.

Some have "anti"
built into their core
preferring that,
to love and more.

With no regrets,
no cares to heed,
addicted they
to more of need.

No purpose here,
no purpose there
to honor self
or not, despair

Is how they live
and how they'll die
as life for them
is lie to lie.

So some will come
and some will go
and in the process
others will know

That fair or not
some play a game
under the influence
of life... to blame.

Thank you Suthern, I was thinking how easy it is for some to just pass through other's lives...when I was reading on ballajosue's website. There were some interesting poems and/or responses on there, as I continued to read.

Nice poem nakdthoughts you sure do make me think.
What you wrote;
"I do most of my art under the Influence..
of life."

I do most of my art under the influence of music.

I have known so many people who like to play the "Blame" game.

no matter the subject,
your pennings are always
just lovely

I love the last few lines
of this .. so very, very true
