Poetry should also be about life's nitty-gritty how could we live happily if all things are taken too seriously?
the unhappiest land there dwells philosophy how bitterly the thinkers argue to the greatest degee of absurdity none would agree to agree all choose to be thorny they wallow in ambiguity rhetoric, semantics and enmity they forget food and sleep ' we are all too busy'
epilogue-- end of my story:
they never stopped talking they sat up for days-- in total 43 died of starvation
do they deserve our sympathy?
