    Humans

     Words of wisdom we disregard
    Words of love taken for granted
    Words of reproach hit us so hard
    Words of anger raved and ranted

    Thoughts of hate branding our souls
    Thoughts of pity, so self righteous
    Thoughts of revenge reversing our roles
    Thoughts of suicide seem infectious

    Acts of a hero, soon out of mind
    Acts of charity, revealed as fraud
    Acts of violence, too quickly inclined
    Acts of perversion, affront unto God

    Feelings of inadequacy cripple our efforts
    Feelings of superiority, cause to suffer
    Feelings of rage do little to comfort
    Feelings of humiliation, we can't cover

    Dreams of utopia, so unrealistic
    Dreams of peace, a novel thing at best
    Dreams of death, solution too simplistic
    Dreams of tolerance our only test

    OKAY I READ YOUR BIO AND ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISM AND WHY i READ YOUR POEMS AND WHY I THINK WHAT I THINK. FIRST OF ALL YOUR PICTURE SCARED ME INTO CURIOSITY AND INTRIGUED ME. THE WORDS YOU WRITE ARE ROBOTIC ,REPEATED AS A ROBOT WOULD DO. JUST NEED SOME FEELING. THERE IS SUCH A THING AS POETIC JUSTICE BUT NOT EVEN THAT CAN BE USED FOR THESE WORDS. I AM GOING TO READ MORE BECAUSE FIRST IMPRESSION ARE VERY DECEIVING. NEVER SAY NEVER

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
