    Not To Be Me

    To the one who knows all , on your name I call.
    Please tell me I pray, why'd you bring me this way.

    If given a choice , I'd shout at my loudest ,                                      so you'd hear my voice.

    Please dont put me there , I dont want to go.
    I dont want a body , I dont want a soul.

    I dont want a mind , aware of lifes pain and  can
    bring back bad memories , like storms bring rain.

    I dont want ears to hear children cry , or eyes
    that see life . then watch it die.

    I dont want a heart full of love to share,
    then put in a world where so many dont care.

    Souls may be strong , but minds and bodies
    are weak. Given the choice this placed I'd not seek.

    Before I was born, my whole life , you could see.
    You knew from the beginning I'd choose not to be.

    Before my lungs held their first breath , you knew
    of my sin.

    Tell me dear lord , why did you let me begin.

    an interesting concept a plea for no life at all, I hope that you see some of the beauty of life as well, but a very good read with a novel premise

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
