Jeff - Hello Poetry

What is our obsession
with what is popular or not
What is our obsession
with things that are not even connected,
to the things that really matter

What is poetry...

What is poetry...
is it just words put together in a rhyming pattern
on a page?
Or is it something more

Is it a way of expressing
what is underneath.
Of what no one else but these pages
will ever know...

Why is it?

Why is it
that everyone I love
just forgets me in the end?

Why do we care

Why do we care
whether people are straight or not
why do we care
we are all just humans underneath

Racism

Why do people shun certain people
just based on how they look
why do people think that they
are somehow worse than them based on their ethnicity?

Rain

Rain
Pounding overhead on the roof
Drowning out the sound
of my cries for help

Life

Life is a *****
I know this all too well

It will do its best to put you down
But you have to do all you can to get back up
