Neither do I ask for senseless faith.
This way I am freed from thinking and decision-making.

The pestilence of liberty won't crawl into my head
For I refuse to think of matters above my daily bread.

Yes, I am a man. A mere amd mortal ape who speaks.
So why should I waste my time exploring something and
Challenging the perils?
This is not for me! I leave it all to you,
O, daring snobs.

I grin at you for I am well aware
Your destiny is not so faqr from mine -
We - all will die...
So why?

And still, I hate you. [comments] => 6 [counter] => 233 [topic] => 59 [informant] => WAE [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 14 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => psychoticpoems )

A mouse? Or a man?

I failed to find the analogy/metaphor here. I think there really should be one, but it seems lost in the drudgery of antiquated English and rhetorical questioning.

Basically, I want you to grow a tail and squeak for me. Squeak something more interesting than a dirge directed against those with faith enough in the providence found in (mis)adventure?

Its all contrived, i'm afraid.

Keep writing,

Hello,
I am sorry for typoes in this poem - my fault and I am ashamed.
This is not my personal opinion and view but an artistic speculations... However, I am ready to defend the point.

Hmmm, well as there is no topic for this piece of (work) there is also no point that I see in its birth. Rather, a better than thou attitude that needs to be "sucked up."

It's crap,
Rita

Once again I have to defend my work and explain that this is an artistic experiment. If you don't like the content, I will be glad to listen to your point.
THanks...

I think experimenting with styles is good -
- since it's the way we all develop our (hopefully) distinct and unique voices.

I admit, I didn't quite understand this,
but not all poetry is meant to be understood anyway..
(as long as the author understands it,
that's usually good enough,
but sometimes even I don't understand my own poetry,
and I guess that's just the way it is).

I think this is a good write,
but you should try to form your ideas a little more carefully.

Besides all that; I have to say;
I thought the last line was very powerful. :D

Keep writing!
