How dare you?

Spreading rumors and lies...you know who you are. Look in the mirror...ugliness will stare back.

 

 

How dare you?

 

How dare you?

Use words of pasted lies

from crevices of hate~

Tossed like beads in a parade

of drunken undertones

and doped up reasons

?????

How dare you?

Cast your shadows long,

bringing down the sun,

filling the skies with chalk,

dusting a porcelain dream

with boney fingers of aged fabrication

?????

How dare you?

Take from others a joy,

tarnish the smiles of future dreams~

Kill, murder, maim,

friendships in mis-readings of feelings

and cancerous pleadings

?????

How dare you?

Break promises offered

in sentences of untruth~

Sow pain built of a fractured mind,

plunging your knife

with a smile and a smirk

?????

How dare you?

?????

i have talked to others to whom you have done this ....slamming people with your self appointed importance and worth....fabricating anger and malicious intent and forgetting to stand before the mirror when you spew your filth....i laid down the sword days ago, and yet, here you are ...still fuming and spitting fiery rhetoric about verbal attacks being immature while you lead by example...such a gallant and wonderful person you are , jack. why don't you tell them all it wasn't even your business to begin with? you injected yourself into something that had nothing to do with you....call me a liar again and see where this goes.....i promise you...it won't be pretty

[Jack...]

Thanks you so much for your comments. I appreciate you reading my poem

[quinfinn]

Oh wow, Jack. This was really powerful, it was like you punched this across to us all. You drilled it into your readers.

Anger. This seems to be happening alot in the real world but in the Cafe as well, it is really pathetic and really doing my head in. I am sick of all the fights over petty things. I am not saying everything is petty but what I have read has been quite petty.

You're furious, and so would I be. It gets really annoying after a while. The way you set the mood is really good. You got it and your write does pack a punch.


I love how the question marks are after each stanza, it's like you're separating each stanza but finishing off with questions, you are questioning what you have written. There is so many un-answered questions.
I loved how you wrote this with so much power and and honesty. Although the liars don't seem to know when the truth has hit them... Unfortunately for us all.


The arguing and lying and everything is really getting annoying. I despise liars, I have been lied to by many, many people and been back stabbed, it's not nice. Not when you are going through a time where you really need that person only to find out the weren't actually there for you.

I can really relate to this, which in a way is a sad thing. I tend to stick to the truth because it'll come back and haunt me.

Excellent write.

[Jack...]

Yep, yep, yep. Thank you so much my friend. These were dark times indeed.

Great work, you've portrayed it perfectly. I love the imagery!

"Cast your shadows long,
bringing down the sun,
filling the skies with chalk,
dusting a porcelain dream
with boney fingers of aged fabrication"

[Jack...]

Thank you my friend.

Oh, dear, who has let loose the dogs of war?
The pen may be mightier than the sword, but maybe using it like one isn't the best idea. Unlike sword wounds, wounds made with the pen seem not to heal terribly well...they tend to fester.
Ahh, well...looks like a couple of big dogs fighting...this little kitten needs to run away and hide!!

(I like the writing...just not crazy about bloodshed!)

[Jack...]

Thanks Angel. I can assure you it was taking the wrong way by someone who I assume relates to this a little too closely. I can assure you it was just written as a poem, nothing more and nothing less.

[Angel]

As just a poem, it is very good.
Given our human nature, it is amazing the Good Lord puts up with us, I think...

[DVAsanin]

I've always liked it when you colorize an emotion and make it into a poem. We must face the never solving problem of people being self centered b******s. I like the emotion and boldness that you've shown. Great :)

[Jack...]

Thank you so much my friend.

[Marc Marlon Villaflor]

Well, great adamant write. even the theme is anger you still write it a stunning way. good job Mr. Jack. Keep writing.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much Marc

To assert yourself against those who would otherwise try to dominate your world...its takes courage. This poem is well written. I can feel the emotional build, the struggle with wanting to be a good person but still harboring so much anger over the situation, and I can feel those things because your writing sucked me into times when I've been there. That's good writing.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much Kristin

Beautiful poem as always. Seems like someone really angered you, Jack. I hope everything's okay. Although I am glad you shared this magnificent piece of art with us. There will always be people trying to bring others down. Out of jealousy, greed, anger, whichever. I myself was put in situations when one of my so called friends would try to put me down in a not so obvious matter. She would say mean things or give snide comments whenever I was happy over my life in general or when someone gave me a compliment or a praise. I used to get angered very easily, but I realized that people like that have absolutely no control over my life. The only people whose opinion I care about are my family and the few people I love. The rest of them are unimportant.
Nonetheless, I apologize for giving a little rant here, but your words inspired me. As I said, great poem, really. :)

[Jack...]

No problem my friend. Funny you should read this because I am being attacked right now on the thread with the title that has Tate Morgan in it. But that's ok, I am just defending myself. I love when you review my poetry. truly i do. Thank you so much.

[LadySoDivine]

I'll be sure to check it out. I don't like it when people bash others' opinions simply because it does not match their own. And you're very welcome :)
