[hometext] => It has been said that pain and agony are the greatest of teachers. The stove principle suggests the pain of touching a hot burner will cause a change in behavior. Just the briefest glance at human history suggests there is a lesson we need to learn.
[bodytext] => Something's Wrong Soon and Libet, they both agree; If they aren't enough, take a look at hissssstory; If you're still not convinced, go ahead, put your hand on that burner again, I think you'll see; Eventually I think you'll see... Some.............thing's...............wrong; Something is wrong! Man killing man, till what we've got is a blood red sea; A lust-greed social mindset, that chains us all to I, my and me; There's awl...there's always a lesson comes with pain and misery; This ain't the way it's supposed to be; Don't you see? Some.............thing's...............wrong; Something is wrong! Whatever it is, it's been with us all along; While Love and Peace grow weak, it just keeps on gettin' strong; Our sun, it seems to be setting, pretty soon we'll all be gone; We gotta' learn a new song; and we don't have long... Some.............thing's...............wrong; Something is wrong! It's waiting for us when we wake up; it's there when we fall asleep; It's a part of everything we say, feel and think, week after week; We teach it to our children; we give it voice when we speak; Whatever it is it's everywhere; and it don't play fair? Some.............thing's...............wrong; Something is wrong! With patronizing intuitive dribble it has paralyzed our hearts; Appealing to our egos, it's jellified our thinkin' parts; Just 'cuz it's always been this way is no reason we gotta stay; We've got to break away from the herd and run some other way... Some.............thing's...............wrong; Something is wrong! When life gets this out of whack you gotta' know the cure won't come easy; The tyrants of personal dysfunction won't be topple with more appeasing; Whatever it is that we've always been doing that's put us in this hell hole where we are, it hasn't worked and it ain't workin'; no, it ain't workin'... Some.............thing's...............wrong; Something is wrong! Back to Soon and Libet, and their clinical discoveries; The functional "I" speaks, and the conscious "I" merely agrees... There it is; a Rock of Truth; the cure for our disease... Don't like it? Tough! Better get used to it, 'cause it's reality, and it's why... Some..............thing's...............wrong; Something is wrong!

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. ©
