The World Unspoken
My original poem
They say they love the soft hearted
But beat them till they are calloused
They say be sweet no don't be so mean
But the mean ones always triumph
What does the world want me to be?
Be soft, then hard, but then not hard
What do they all want from me? see
They say just try to be yourself
But that is to displease others
How do you live such a vexed life?
They applaud the bold in public
But speak otherwise behind closed blinds
But say speak your mind, to be free
But no it is to be confined
They consistently pity themselves
Saying woe is to me, but call others weird
Is that not to contradict the law
Which they have created for their lives to define their sorrow?
Why do you love such a pitiful life
Where nothing is settled
And the meaning of peace is separation from others?
How do you blame the lonely and distant
For wanting to be away and untouched by this
They are the ones who see the truth
With the disaster ignorance causes
So what is the lesson?
To be distant and unhappy or close and ignorant
Then there are those who see
But being in control choose to torture others
Ah, what a world without
christ to save me.
