Puzzled

I am confused by life.

Why do we live in

this wretched world,

when there's paradise up there

in the blue never-ending sky?

I wouldn't mind living if

all the troublesome people and things

would all just go to Hell, and

meet the devil and stay there.

I'm confused.

What is this world coming to?

Why doesn't God do anything?

Why hasn't anyone spoken of it before?
Am I the only one on Earth that cares?
Who cares.....

I'm confused by Life.

If you're just going to die.

Out of one world

and into the next.

Many of these rhetorical questions have multiples of answers... I'm almost positive that you know that. This is an excellent poem to really ponder about the world and all the negative events that happen within it, but if I might quote one of my favorite songs "Northern Downpour" by Panic! At the Disco: "I know the world's a broken bone/but melt your headaches, call it home". Think about it. ^^

Despite some of the truth hidden deep within the verses of your work about the world and all its hideous wonders, the material in this poem is very biased. Being biased will definitely get your point across (and it did), so great job accomplishing that. :) Pondering the bad is always good to arouse your mind and the minds of others, but there is more than one side to it... Just blame the media, honey.

Anyways, regardless, I really did enjoy reading this. Its religious references made me feel a little competitve to the point where I want to answer your questions because there is more to it than you think, but that's not why I'm here to read your work. ;) Excellent job!

Ironically Yours, Blade and Blood

This runs true, that is why I went Pagan. Earth Based Beliefs. Reancarnation makes more sense, and I always had a connection to the Earth, and the Moon. Thank you for sharing this piece, very well writen and thought out.
