What if the ATM at the bank Is actually just a gamble and you're the luckiest person because everyone else's bills are blank? and they don't tell you just to keep you in line and nothing you know is true? if everything's not all fine? Or if the "cops" seeing if you speed are just drunks with glasses pointing hair dryers hoping to succeed because they dropped all their classes? what they say doesn't quell you it hurts like a tine and you just want to scream and yell if everything's not all fine? All those kids wearing sheets at night may not celebrate halloween as ghosts but maybe matresses in flight So NOW you have to decide what annoys you the most? just kind of a thought. Little humor, it's only a half hour work, so be gentle :-) "Some men see things as they are and say why. |

LOL... A half hour well spent. Well I think that the tone was obviously light and humourous, but the message is an interesting one. Being one whose belief system circles around the dominance of the power of chance, I was affected by this piece. Truly, what if... yes, it is quite interesting. I thought this poem was pointing out not only chance, but the fact that some things we brush off as pure knowledge could be incorrect after all... that of everything we know, how can we ~really~ know it for sure? A very thought-provoking piece, Bryan. Excellent job. ~Allan If I had your eyes, I'd be blind. For I can only see out of my own. ~~Carly Van Dort |

Actually I enjoyed this very much. I really thought you did a great job on this. Quite interesting in every aspect and you flaunt your creativity within this piece. Nice. I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

For a half hour, it's a good poem. Not the best I've read from you, but still a pretty good poem. Nice job. --Marie I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am. |

Very nice. You brought a massive grin to my face. You've got me thinking about ATM's now...It's a conspiracy!! It's quite a clever little piece with lots of hidden messages. Nicely rhymed with a pretty good flow. I enjoyed this, Bryan. Thanks for the read. ~AF~ "It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory." |
