MAD

MAD
imperfect human aims perfection.

Curly hair goes straight
black skin turns white
big fats loosen,
wearing fit, dressing baggy

men over women
emotion over reason
me versus society
and vice versa.

Study lives business
work creates money
wealthy for years
did for nothing.

Too bad, too influenced
gambling, money-wastin'
children on the street
day by day starting.

Buy millions for a car
increasing drop-outs;
skip meals for diet
trashing clothes

banana leaf and charcoal
pen and paper's - a tribal way
meals, clothes....
With or without, counts a blessing

This is a cruel ironic life called REALITY.

Reality can often be an unbearable thing, sometimes we all need an escape. And yes, we humans do take many things for granted. We are all in some way, MAD. A great read. Keep it up!

[Nirvana]

A really great poem. It really brings out the real reason why HUMANITY is always considered the best of all species. It is because we take everything for granted. We take advantage of other species.

Overall, a great poem that really made me think.

great job. The poem was realistic and expressive. No wonder adults are so angry all the time. ;) :P
