Didn't name it, its just a thought, er, kind of.

this is just thought I put on paper when i was seventeen, i like it though, it says alot about me, if you're open to it.


All through my life
I have seen, I have known,
Great cruelty.
Granted I wasn’t always conscious
Of it, but it existed
All the same. Many times
I had the power to interfere - and yet
I have rarely done so in 17 years.
17 years of turning a blind
Eye. Woe, my hands
Too are blemished with
The suffering of others,
Tarnished with the hurt and pain
Which I could have, no,
Should have prevented.
For even the lowliest ‘scum’
- By whose definition though -
Are feeling,
Therefore I cry, I weep, for what
They endure.
I’ve seen,
I’ve known,
I’ve partaken in,
Harassment of undoubtedly
Innocent people, animals.
I didn’t oppose,
They were different, and sadly,
There was a time when that seemed to be
A logical reason to disturb.
Why? I don’t know. At all.
Older now, and maybe wiser,
If I could take back
The hurt,
The torment, I’ve caused
Through my actions or through
My apathy.
I would, I think.
I am pathetic.
Atlas you harbour nought to my heart,
Strained with the sins of nations.
Ashamed to be human I have been and
No doubt will be again.
I seek direction,
Yet I believe in no God, that
I know of.
You probably believe I’m rambling,
Raving, but no,
Open,
This makes sense
Depending on your perception.
Don’t judge me – I can do that myself.

[font=&quot]It's a deep peace, echoing ever so slightly the style of Ginsberg.

The work (pieces) we write (wrote) in our youth can be a far more accurate portrayal of how we saw ourselves and the world than how we see things now in our mind's eye. [/font]

Thanks, ICadvisor. I agree, sometimes, the younger you are, the fewer reasons you have to care what other people think of you. Youth is a wonderful scape-goat for bluntness.

Ven0m, extremely flattered, but beginning to think you're easily impressed!!!

Quite the opposite in fact - I am a BASTARD to impress. Very little impresses me & very few poeple do too..... but thank you none the less
