Lost: the Conscience. by ~ViharElottiCsend:iconViharElottiCsend:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Open


Who would cry
At the fall of a saint?
The market price of goodwill
Has long since plunged
To bankruptcy.

Surely more than
A handful
Would have need
To bandage
A bleeding ticker.

Our hearts have become
Butterknives,
Blunt and spreading
The last crumbs of humanity
Into the holes of our heads.

Sometimes my view of the world is pessimistic.

I do like the poem itself however, the situation of the word 'Butterknives' bothers me for some reason... it seems like it should be placed on the line above, but that line would then make the rest of the poem seem unbalanced. gah... me = confuzzled

For some reason, people on the street give me a weird look when I introduce myself as a deviant...

I found a note with another name.You blow a kiss, but it just don't feel the same.'Cause I can feel that you're gone.Can't bite my tongue forever,While you try to play it cool.You can hide behind your story,But don't take me for a fool.

Pessimistic is not the term I would coin. this is in fact a one sided opinion, but it's te truth, regardless of who wants to deny it. Denial of the problems only leads to more problems. Thank you for moving society another inch towards self realization.


Cheers!

For one day, love, I shall run with thee through endless woods. I shall kiss thy lips of flame. I shall hold thy hand of water. I shall follow thy feet of the Earth. I shall feel thy breath of Wind. Our spirits will join. One day, love.
