Tearaway

Tearaway

A Poem by Riley Justine
"

The act of separation is welcome in my mind

"

Another o’clock passes

While the second hand advances,

How long will I have to wait

Until my life I need not dedicate

All to work that consumes my mind

While by society I am defined?

Only a ticket, that’s all I need

So that in my life I can succeed.

Time is precious, don’t they say?

So why not be a tearaway?

I can only rage on society and capitalism upon reading this. It's one of those art pieces that remind me of how fucked up everything is. I say this in a way not meant to blatantly criticize a plagued society but to remind everyone of the little details that form the modern world, and how poor the result is right now. Remember I said capitalism, because I believe it's one of the major contributions for the corrosion of society. I'm not going to list more reasons because you may be religious (and that's completely fine) and I could be misinterpreted.
Anyway, good poem. Simple, succinct, and made me remember important thoughts. Thanks for that :)

You said a lot in the poetry.
"Time is precious, don’t they say?
So why not be a tearaway?"
The above lines I could write a complete poem from. I liked the strong thoughts in the amazing poetry.

This poem is very truthful.
We only have a short amount of time in our lives.
We should use our time to glorify God and all that he has done, but also to express our thoughts and actions in our daily lives.
Hope to read more.

Hi Silent Raven. You have transposed inner thoughts to verse and opened your heart to allow your emotion to accompany your words. Great poem, alf

Very good piece of work here. I especially liked that you could accomplish so much with so little words. And I also like the lingo in this piece.
Keep up the good work. stay inspired.
