How Can We...


How can we live in a world where we're told what to do?

Most everyone goes along with the rules of society.

How can we live in a world where we're told what to think?

Most everyone goes along, hiding their thoughts or arguing with others.

How can we live in a world where the weak won't last?

Most everyone goes along with what they have, or what they nab.

How can we live in a world where you either crush or get crushed?

Most everyone is split, the leap-frog game one sided.

We all must live with this,

And all will suffer.

Several of my poems are long. I have some that are short, with not many in between. Most of them are more personal, based on my experiences. My main inspiration is my dreams.
