The Big Picture of Things:

Wasted pages burned into the air
Only causing pollution to this ungreatful earth.
It seems there is nothing left that is honerable in this false fantasia.
We live while serving faded lords of extensive corperation conformity.
Why bother in helping others if I can't even help myself?

It's all so bleak and incoherent.
All we can ever be are clones in a run down store
Just about to go into bankrupsy.
Why won't you let me move on?

I have a secondary view of freedom.
It's in my right to move on with my life.
But to be honest with you,
I have a right to think about moving on
Not the actual process.
That's life, and life is a limitation in itself.

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

very thoughtful yet as even as the rose blooms for when the time comes it whithers

Chosen to live a joyful life,
Blessed with a huge heart,
Day to day I live the life,
Live the life brought to me,
So much unshared love yet to giv

hey Dopey --- I have noticed a lot of hatred in your poems. Why is that? It's like you hate this world so much? Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe my interpretation of your poems are just wrong. Well, with regards to the poem, you should know already that I find it really good. I wouldn't be asking you all these questions if I didn't find it that way. Good Job

Hatred towards the world? Hmmmmmm......not really towards the world acire but more towards society and the general sense of conformity and so on. Like, life these days just seems to be over-looked by so many people. I like to analyze people just because i do it naturally. I see that most live the UNEXAMINED LIFE, as Socrates used to call it and he said it wasn't worth living. He described it as the life that is lived at some level almost as a sleepwalker, somnambulating away the hours, days, and years. It's a life that is experienced on automatic pilot-- a life based on values and beliefs that we've never really looked at, never really tasted, never examined for ourselves.
So what I am saying is that i detest the fact that most live in this shelled up way rather than just seeing the truth, examinning the realm of imagination and philosophy......i just get fetup with people and write things against SOCIETY.
So there you go acire....a full explanation. Hope it worked to clarify things.

I hadn't responded to this one earlier Javier, but remember reading it. You do have a uniqe viewpoint on life, and sometimes I find it very refreshing. In reading your comment above to Acire, I thought I'd pass along a little poem I did up quite a while back, that I thought shared my similar views of "sleepwalking" through life.
