This was my first poem for February. I've been trying to write at least 2 new poems every month this year, and so far I've accomplished that! Wish me luck, as there's still quite a long way to go. "Untamed" This world is not an easy place to live It tears at our resolve until we give Assailing broken hearts and jaded minds Devouring whomever it may find Unmerciful and fierce, without remorse As mindlessly it runs its vicious course Blind to those who leap from out its way And crushing all who vainly try to stay Yet I am forced to wonder, who’s to blame? So many times, it seems, we’ve tried to tame This world which never was and ne’er could be A force of Time and nature, ever free Are we a fallen people, meant for naught So lost within this world we think we’ve “caught”? This timeless thing we’ve worked so hard to bend Will surely be our downfall in the end… AMdG "My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends--it gives a lovely light!" -Edna St. Vincent Millay |

Yo Arius Miura de Galdri, This world will never be tamed. Don't look for that to happen. There's that nasty free will thingy that can't be dealt with, thank heavens. Bobby |

Good poem from a thinking author. Certainly a question all have asked one time or another. It's amazing, the english language. We can refer to the world as a globe or as the people on it. I really enjoyed the questioning nature of this piece. Eric |

A thought provoking write. When we attempt to bend the world to force it to comply with our greedy wants, there will likely be a negative consequence we neither anticipate nor can undo. Thanks for a mindful write. |
