Sad Poem(4), by *****Junior Walker*****
|
Write a sad poem
Try to put a word in for me
If you can put in two or three
Then crunch up the paper
And throw it away
It’s all the same at the end of the day
If you tell me that you did
I wouldn’t know how to reply
Because people cheat and they lie
Life taught us that if we can’t see it
It can’t be real
What you can’t touch you cannot feel
But if you’re honest
And you tell me you put a word in for me
My belief would pay homage to your acquired honesty
And if your honesty needed to be fed
You know that I would give you a limb
Or a sad poem
When you’re writing
Tell me
Do you really believe me?
Don’t you know people cheat and they lie?
Inside you is a web of all the traits known to humanity
And oh no, the web got tangled up with me
God spun a web for me
I spun a web for me
Then along came some spiders and sat down beside me
And oh my, the web got tangled up with me
Now it’s just me with a sad poem in the middle
I’m caught in the middle
With the thought of all the stupid things I’ve said
With the thought of all the stupid things I’ve done
A 21st century prodigal son
So honestly write a sad poem
Try to put a word in for me
If you can put in two or three…

| i know what you mean about the confusion,reading it back even I get confused,usually hate reading my stuff after the time when I write it through,I really should have written a explanation for this one though,anyway no time like the present,the underlying message is me being sad and frustrated with the way that people and society are,then the 6th stanza onwards it supposed to show my disappointment in some of the qualities I've picked up that I never had when I was younger,I guess the whole me asking to be put into a sad poem is me wanting some pity or attention really |

| I really enjoyed that. Covers how I feel sometimes, but I always hide it underneath my smile. |
