You'll shove him around with your words:
"You're so stupid, you're so stupid!
You're hurting them all, you're so wrong"
Though he's just as delicate a vase.
But you'll keep pushing him
Closer and closer to the edge
Until finally the vase spins wildly
Over the table's edge and tumbles down.
He'll fall down until he shatters
And then who will be picking up the pieces? [comments] => 5 [counter] => 234 [topic] => 39 [informant] => AzurePaladin [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )

The Vase

Why do you keep pushing?
You'll shove him around with your words:
"You're so stupid, you're so stupid!
You're hurting them all, you're so wrong"
Though he's just as delicate a vase.
But you'll keep pushing him
Closer and closer to the edge
Until finally the vase spins wildly
Over the table's edge and tumbles down.
He'll fall down until he shatters
And then who will be picking up the pieces?

This one reminds me of Trigun ^^. An episode where (el diabolo? I think was his name) rampaged through a town killing people needlessly to anger Vash the Stampede who tried to save them all, but he couldn't be in all places at once and (el diabolo?) leveled a section of town with a big gun. Vash lost his cool and nearly killed (el diabolo?) shouting something to the effect of "you've killed PEOPLE! All those people" also another episode where Legato Bluesummers did the same thing and rounded up another citys inhabitants to a cliff top by way of metal powers and shot people while again Vash tried to save them all, but this time Vash was in a stiuation where killing Legato was his only way to stop the killing. Why do I think of those scenes? well because of the line "Your hurting them all, you're so wrong" Nice poem and so true. Another group of people I can't stand: those who teach by way of force/yelling, you know those crazy sports coaches. Wish I could write something good about the setup/sturucture and what have you about the peom, but I always seem to repeat my self. Anyways being reminded of things is sometimes the best compiment I can give becuause what I am reminded of are happy moments.

this is a good way to compare ones emoshons to an object.
