I like to write tragic poems like this one. I hope that this will be the first of many poems i will post up on this site. [bodytext] =>

I find it hard to swallow moral quawrals of underaged girls.
I can create but yet i cannot destroy.
A strong man, a weak man, but, a man none the less.
Whos place is it to say which man is the best?
Life makes me unhappy but death would make so sad.
This world which i am damned to live in is driving me mad.
Tick tock in my mind as time goes by...and i qoute the saying "back to the salt mines"

Hey, Ark. I to write lots of tragic, depressing, angry poems. I found this poem was ok, but I dont understand how it was tragic? I totally agree with 5th line I like it a lot and can relate to it. I found the rest of it confusing tho. keep up the poems! E-mail me if u want @ bobothefartingclown@yahoo.com
