stand up at the podium
and tell everyone
I was mad

there was not a single cell
in her body that was sane


*Each molecule was rabid
Each word out of the mouth
breathed in another's pain,
another's thoughts, another's foot
another's absolute, down to Earth
truth

She gladly swallowed razor blades
and never once, coughed up blood
She sought to hold all pain
beneath a heart that would never gain
truth

She was insane

Truth

Take a look around you
Tell me what you see
Another day of turmoil
Or a day to set you free

Take a look around you
At what this earth has got to give
At what it has to offer
So that you and I can live

Take a look around you
And decide which path to choose
Only you can make the choice
If you win or if you lose

Take a look around you
At this green and pleasant land
But will it still be here for our kidx
When we are not around

Take a look around you
At the destruction man can cause
When he subjects this fair land
To industrial abuse

Take a look around you
Think about what you could achieve
If you truly cared for this fair land
If you have the courage to believe

Take a look around you
LETS SAVE WHAT WE'VE GOT LEFT
Of a land so full of beauty
Don't condemn this earth earth to death

Sorry, I dont have your eloquent turn of phrase,
I'm self educated, no university degree
I can only write the simple words within my head
But are they any less than the words here that I have read
I read here stanzas that make no sence
Long diatribes of useless words
YEAH so sorry I don't have the knack
To pour out words of meaningless crap
And so what is left for me
Writing simple, clear and free
No university education, I'm self taught
But are you really better than me

You all come from many different countries,
from many different walks of of life.
You read here in my daytime,
I read here in your night,
There are so many diverse subjects,
so many diferent styles.
But no matter how or what we write,
our words cross a million miles.
Words can bring us close together,
words can express how we feel.
They can tell of deep emotions,
or feelings of good will.
Complex works of litery skill,
or simple words like mine.
Sent to all corners of the world,
crossing space and time.
No matter how or what we write,
there is a common bond.
Our words bring us close together,
at Hello Poetry....

Honing crisply honour-bells
silver-charred and dusted thoughts
alight with the thousand notes
and woe-bygones
and ill-betides:
these nights of fated rue –

Called to join and to conjoin
this solemn incense scent to heaven
while shaken pyres
and innocent liars
twist mistaken tongues
consented:
in memorium to–

*Humanity's Nature.
any constructive criticism...?
your thoughts?
:)
This pencil meets paper
As the words meet my mind
Answers lie in obscurity
Until the questions collide
But I'm unsure of my surety
Because questions are answers
Just mixed with impurities
