Concerning: Poetry Schmoetry
By odetobarbie
feelings
about you
about me
about them,
voicing concern
for
not you
only them
only me,
right?
personal regret
secrets quietly revealed
words slammed together
blaming 'selves:
not your
not my
just their,
right?
addresses randomly pointed
towards eyes who were
caring
empathetic
fearful
of
who i am
how i feel
when i feel
where i feel,
right?
my voices are concerned
screaming fruitless antiwar slogans
ripped in two by personal devastation
shouting against molestor's explosions
falling
upon
unconcerned deaf
ears
eyes
never witness to murder
godlessness
soul-stealing,
right?
them@world.com read the
cry claiming no
accusation
finger pointing
oh! despairing world gone awry!
emails read
in
red madness
hiding
behind
sickeningly forced poems
concerning nothing
except
a severe concern for your feelings.

So you don't know when you wrote this eh? Very thought provoking stuff. I suppose then that this has to do mostly with futility (?) Anywho, good read, very very thought provoking. Thanks for the heads up.
