[hometext] => Two sides to every coin, no right or wrong, just another perspective: Think and beware of all.
[bodytext] => Collectibles attract much dust And never involve common-sense Pretty soon they’re buried in the shed What's the point of ornaments? Full of churches and hypocrites And a character very staid With a lame economy and future What's the point of Adelaide? Such high-maintenance pooh-machines They're dependent and hollow logs For loners and folk with poor social skills What's the point of dogs? Printing a scene soon forgotten People can't see memories laugh It's pointless to point out the obvious What's the point of a photograph? Hiding in dark escapism We're superficially groovy Dreaming of a nubile celebrity What's the point of a movie? Pure literary rhetoric Feigning clever simplicity Rarely read lines craving air and respect What's the point of poetry? Abstract pretensions inviting voyeurs Counter-pointing metaphors so smart Yet those fragile egos give naught of substance What's the point of art? Deliberate epilepsy Mindless movement and queer prancing A primal mating-ritual so dumb What's the point of dancing? Fun and games are so engrossing Competitive distractions we court But it'll never feed our starving millions; What's the point of sport? Worshiping musical styles and garb Is such a meaningless passion Dressing in pop culture’s sheer uniform What's the point of fashion? The great thrills of falling in love But joy ebbs and becomes remembrance Dr Love Rabbit is soon neutered What's the point of romance? Enduring mutual martyrdom We suffer each other's baggage Loyalty desensitizes What's the point of marriage? Emotional intelligence Demands wise thoughts ever linking Brains speculating on reality What's the point of thinking? Chasing financial security Gloating over pots of honey Is meaningless on our deathbed What's the point of money? In this shrinking world we embrace Rotting shrines to detached memories We grieve the loss of our precious space What's the point of cemeteries? Weak, we reach out for religion Humanity's sage power pod We kill for eternal life insurance What's the point of God? Killing air-time until we die Our hearts are so forgiving Putting off the inevitable What's the point of living? Our cynical, narrow judgments And self-righteous condescensions Beg the reflections and mirrors to ask What's the point of the questions?

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. ©
