Array ( [sid] => 31758 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Material beings [time] => 2004-01-15 14:07:05 [hometext] => i wrote this on a bus. i was bored............... [bodytext] => Things are happening way too fast,
its kinda hard to understand,
why situations always turn bad,
and its only really the tiniest thing,
that makes you really want to scream,
but dont worry things can always get worse,
even if you want to scream and curse,
'cause theres lots of people in this world,
who dont always have the lives that we could,
so we should be grateful for what weve got,
'cause they havent really got alot,
but sometimes it is really hard,
when you cant buy a friend a birthday card,
money is worth so much in this world,
but if it is worth it i cannot tell,
most of us are material beings,
trusting life to material things,
but i ask you,
where else is there to go?
for we live in a material world,
this i know.........

words so true but we come into this world with nothing and in the same way we shall leave. I also like having nice things but at this point in my life it is not as important. Great write

Your poem is well constructed..
---------------------------------------------
Tell me please, should I have riches,
or mine in holes and live in ditches,
Let's refer to the finer things,
And all the assets that this brings
You can tell me money's crass,
How come it's wanted by every lass,
Try to see and get a date
And have the crosstown bus be late,
She's make you feel ten inches tall
YOU HAVE NO CAR..well that is all!

A universal perspective. The lament of life. There are a few places you could use some apostrophes, and try not to repeat words---especially emphatic ones, such as "really."
I can see how your poetry has grown since you wrote this one.
