We talk too much with empty mouths We run too fast with no speed We touch with no feeling We hear too much by not listening Our joy exceeds with no pleasure Our soul lives with no life Were taught so much but learned nothing The minuites we waste with no time Until the end we'll waste in vain. |
we shrug judgment from our shoulders like heavy slabs of granite introspection is not in our vocabulary Just my thoughts in response to yours.

Everyone is just some gingerbread cut-out of someone else, and there are only 58 people in the world. Yes. Why be anything or anybody, somebody else has probably already been you and done it better anyway. | | Posted on 2009-10-07 00:00:00 | by Runes | [ Reply to This ] | tis the elegy of every poet. good 1. | | Posted on 2009-05-28 00:00:00 | by geekyslacker | [ Reply to This ] | coool I wrote something like this, but this is soo much more awesome... | "We hear too much by not listening" I liked that, reminds me of rumors and unintended lies among other things... "Our joy exceeds with no pleasure" really, really...I like all of it... : ) | Posted on 2009-05-06 00:00:00 | by coloredstone | [ Reply to This ] | yepz nice poem mannn... | me likes de wordsssssssss \ peace out yaaaaaaaaaaaaar | Posted on 2007-03-16 00:00:00 | by DaGrimReaperess | [ Reply to This ] | lol very nice..very thought provoking :) but i would recommend changing "We hear too much by not listening" to something with "with" because the "by" breaks the parallelism in the poem. | | Posted on 2007-03-16 00:00:00 | by Keller | [ Reply to This ] | |
