A simple fly breaks my concentration,
I watch his pattern but I find none,
For in his mind there is no direction,
He is constant noise but for what cause,
He searches his mind but it is blank,
Must continue for the noise is calming,
From place to place with no destination,
Not happy unless moving,
He shall have no rest,
Why must his life have no purpose,
Why so small in a world so vast,
My thoughts of pity turn to humiliation,
As I am struck with this harsh realization,
I am the fly [comments] => 5 [counter] => 175 [topic] => 13 [informant] => grode [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

The Fly

Why must his life have no purpose,
Why so small in a world so vast,
My thoughts of pity turn to humiliation,
As I am struck with this harsh realization,
I am the fly

This is the first poem I have read from you , and what a way to get aquainted! Although I knew where you were going and the fact that that topic have been covered numerious times before, you had me locked till the end! Its simple and straight forward, yet I can still drown in all the deepness.

Looking forward too reading more!

Very very well put together and i should hope that more people see this one... it really is great. It's honest, observant and small in a pile of poems so big.

keep up the fine writing!

good, well done.
