In thᴉƧ wØrld wə lᴉvə ᴉn...

This poem is part of a social statement I am making. It started with some others, including "What Can Happen In A Second." But this is my first time really speaking out. More in Note For Reviewers.

Author's Note

Like I said, this is my first real stand in social and pop culture, against ThᴉƧ wØrld wə lᴉvə ᴉn. I am deciding to no longer follow blindly unto what people want me to do, and I am not going to remain silent any longer while people suffer. I am sticking out and being me. And trying to help/change the world. Are you with me? If you are, post on your profile under your About Me, "In thᴉƧ wØrld wə lᴉvə ᴉn." I'm also going to make an extended version of this, and keep writing like this for a while. Aside from that, I hope you like it, and tell me what you think in the comments.

[Chain of Hearts]

Very emotional, really sums up how this world is now-a-days.
Well done.

[Jerome F Knox III pseud..]

as a diabetic this was hard to read, it took some effort. Being a political and social conscious poet will not win you over with the masses of mainstream poets who find safety in trees, the wind and the water. You will not get many reviews and most people want you to shut up and stop shaking their souls with the truth. I have been writing from this frame work for more than 40 years i would say I am an expert?

[The StoryTeller]

Agreed, but just because it won't win me over the mainstream, that doesn't mean I can't do it. It's my free will to choose, and especially to choose to write the way I will. I don't really care for reviews, etc, I just care that those who do read it will listen to that shaking in their soul... And if they don't listen to it right now, it will place a tiny seed of doubt in what they're doing, what this world is about, that will eventually, with the right nourishment (other similar saying things, which are somewhat hard to avoid, even if it's just a sentence) it will grow into a tree. Anyways, whatever they want, this is part of my writing. I can't say I'm entirely a political and social conscious poet, but I can say that the part of me that is (and is growing larger) is going to stay around. I'm glad you recognized it as truth, though.

Awesome poem ! I enjoyed reading this

[The StoryTeller]

I'm glad you liked it! :D I'm thinking about making another one, but it's going to take forever to type because of all the weird letters... XD But I need them! They all mean something.

[Tks]

Nice poem...i liked the way you challenged many social norms, and the way you satirised the expectations society has imposed on us. Well done!

[The StoryTeller]

I'm glad you liked it! That was my entire point, that I'm no longer going to sit in these social norms or any other thing society wishes to impose... Even the letters mean something!

[Daydreamer]

I'm glad you chose to write this. But let me tell you first, I am going to be totally honest throughout my entire review and I hope you don't mind. I belive it's something rather like: in this 'era' we live in.... Or this sector of the world..... I don't believe that despising the world would be a good thing or show we are good people ( not necessarily you, but a lot of teens have this attitude and believe it's good). However, it's the first step to want and embrace change. Deciding we are on adverse terms with the world's current condition, is all we need to start making it a somehow different place. I was just thinking about this yesterday. There are so many young,vibrant,smart and potent teens who can literally change the world if they unite. We are a tremendous power I swear. I wish we cooperated more onto making one another better people, more accepting,understanding and respectful to one another rather than spreading grim in crappy tweets amd status on (Facebook)! Everyone keeps complaining about the misery but not many care enough to utilize the great rate of response and relation acquired by other teens to share something as positive. If only you'd let me know better about this sentence, I'd post it on my profile as a form of support :) Thank you :)

[The StoryTeller]

I agree, and I don't have a general I hate the world feeling, although I used too. The world has hurt me a lot over nearly all of my life (13 out of almost 16 years) and I'd rather do something to stop it... So yes, that is what I try to do everyday in my life, and I'd wish that others would too, which is why I try to call others to action on here... Anyways, thank you for your review and for being honest. :D I'm not sure what you mean about if you'd let me know more about this sentence though... if you could tell me what you meant, I'd be glad to.

[Daydreamer]

Aww... All I meant was I don't understand what does it symbolise exactly! I wanna know the point behind it so I could decide whether to be a part of it or not :)
Good luck,Resilient 😁
I really wish we could start
something that'd help the world
grow into a better place :)

[The StoryTeller]

I do too, and here's what it means:

It signifies how messed up the world we live in is, how broken it is... It says "In this world we live in..." But with the ... it says that there is a possibility to change it, and it is also my personal decision to no longer see all of this pain and brokenness and instead do what I can to change it. That's what that line means.

[Moonlight]

Nice work on this one! This writing really does speak. It reveals the harsh reality of the world we live in today in the most innovative way! It is really sad that today the despair within the hearts of most people has turned into hatred. All their thoughts are driven by anger. The quality of life keeps depreciating with each passing moment and people turn to immoral ways of handling situations and doing things! I'm totally with you on this subject. It is really important to make others understand, who suffer caught in this cycle of hatred,that there is still more to life than just negativity! That they should accept the darkness within themselves in order to stop this apocalypse of suffering and blame games.

I guess I ranted tooooo much! Sorry about that. But, all in all, great write. :)

[The StoryTeller]

No, thank you for telling me so much about it! I'm glad you liked it, and that was my entire point. My only problem is the extended version is going to take forever, because this took like 20-45 minutes to type because of the things I did with the letters and all the copying and pasting.

[Moonlight]

Yeah I guess it takes a lot of time if you do that kind of thing to your writing! But the effort does pay off! :)

[The StoryTeller]

It does. :) Plus I like being creative and showing more than just what I show through my words. The perfect poem would appeal to all the senses, and so I try my best with visual. It's also supposed to help with Ethos, Pathos, and Logos... appealing to your mind, soul, emotions, and body. :)

[Moonlight]

Yeah I agree.. ! :)

[The StoryTeller]

I'm glad! :)

[Ov3R_sKiLl3D]

Beautifully written and the was of describing is just brilliant :) keep writing

[The StoryTeller]

I'm glad you liked it. :)

[Cruz Niq]

This was different. I do admit, my eyes strained because of the text but I understand the message. Sometime's the most blunt approach is the best. In this world...we don't understand where our lines are drawn, but we easily accuse someone of crossing them. It's a delicate time that will lay the foundation of morals and ethics in the next era.

[The StoryTeller]

I agree, and I feel that I know what I'm standing for, and it's not being silent when someone is being hurt or bullied because I'm not "supposed" too, or not being me, or being immoral and hating people... stuff like that. I'm glad you liked the message.

[Lizardo]

Youre writing is really my favorite type.
I just love this poem, it really speaks out
It beautiful, it really is :)

[The StoryTeller]

Favorite type? Lol, I was talking with Jonah and we were talking about maybe I should make Bladean. You know, like Shakespearean? So Bladean haiku, Bladean sonnet, Bladean etc... My own style and my own form. XD I don't know, I don't think I'm good enough to have my own form to myself for every poetry writing style and possibly create a writing style. Glad you liked it tho. :)

[Lizardo]

Hey you are and it sounds really cool :)

[The StoryTeller]

Lol, okay, I'll believe you. :) Maybe I'll make a few forms of my own, and say what they are in the Note For Reviewers from now on, along with saying how the stanzas are arranged. (EX: ababcdcdefefgg (Shakespearean sonnet))

[The StoryTeller]

Lol, my new picture and your new picture are like stark opposites... XD Although, mine isn't really dark, it's just colored that way. If you want to know what it's about, see it in my photos, it actually has a really good slogan.

[Cool Girl]

Did I just read a pep talk?!?!? xD
In that case, YEAH!! GO GET EM, BUDDY!! Lolololol
Okay, im calm now... Good job!

[The StoryTeller]

Sort of, although it's more of a social statement I would hope others would continue to make with me... some have already just by joining me in my point of view of Living As If You're Gonna Die. :) I'm glad you liked it.

[Cool Girl]

You're welcome!!

[The StoryTeller]

You should make the statement to by posting the title as it is in your About Me.

[Cool Girl]

I'll do it later...maybe xD

[The StoryTeller]

Lol, okay, sound good. Hey, I posted a new article I think needs reviews too, but I don't want to send out read requests so...

[The StoryTeller]

I feel like I've been spamming them, so I hoped you'd read it, and if you really, really, really liked it, you would send read requests to your friends.

[Cool Girl]

Okay, I'll read it!

[The StoryTeller]

Well, I meant if you read any of my work and then really like it, then you send it. XD

[Cool Girl]

Oh... Okay!

[The StoryTeller]

Lol, glad that's cleared up XD

[Cool Girl]
