[bodytext] => What’s the point of standing still, when you are always told to move And when you show movement then there’s someone who says they disapprove What’s the point of seeing, if you are told to look away And when you look away you miss the moment of the day What’s the point of listening when you can’t listen enough And when you give your full attention and you still muck up What’s the point of standing, when you are told to sit And when you are sitting then you are told to stand What’s the point of frowning when everyone tells you to smile And when you smile you get made fun of for the smile you own What’s the point of employment when you never meet the quota Then when you do you do not make your parents or siblings quota What’s the point of working hard in school when you never make the grade And when you do you get yelled at by your parents just the same What’s the point of being happy if all you feel is sad And when you are happy this makes someone else mad What’s the point of walking, when your always told to run And when you are running then you ask ”what am I running from?” What’s the point of eating if you never feel full And when you eat to your hearts content then you are called a pig or bull What’s the point of having eyes of brown when blue is the one that nature should have gave And if you had these eyes of blue then green would be the rave What’s the point of asking when you are never told the truth And when you are told then your question is stupid and aloof What’s the point of awake when all you want is sleep And when you sleep then you are told that you should be awake What’s the point of being young if you are always told “Your making a fool of yourself and you’ll realize it when you get old” What’s the point you may ask well perhaps I’ll never know But if I ever figure it out then I won’t be so low Francis Majowski [comments] => 2 [counter] => 152 [topic] => 75 [informant] => slickfrank [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => anguished )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
