Array ( [sid] => 133251 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => And Yet [time] => 2007-04-03 13:28:16 [hometext] => hate,killing,ignoring [bodytext] => children fatality in war zones

people bombing the twin towers

hurting family we love

expecting to be accepted above all that

and yet....we prefer to reject whats right in front of us.

thats the truth, so horrorifying to beleive,

too real to imagine we have such an acheive.

deciding money over bloodshed

and yet.....we dont grasp why.

worshipping several idols rather than the one life-given

God, in the sky.

and yet...we go on convincing ourselves day after day,
that its okay?

sacraficing innocent animals just to accomplish voodoo.

hasseling some one when a mistake was made.

and yet....they arent the only one.

commiting crimes in the world of freedom,

and yet.....continue to proceed after being fated to prison cell block 41.

swallowing drugs for the purpose of forgetting we are moneyless and homeless,

and yet.....when we do get some cash,

we pay to sear our brains a lil bit more.

we prostitute our bodies

and yet......we dont like to be called, a whore.

the truth, so horrorifying to beleive, too real to imagine we have such an acheive,

and yet...its right in front of us.

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. ©
