And he says to me You can see it in the eyes of recent widow Hello, Mr. Rapist Will you show me respect? And he says to me You can see it in the eyes of dying old man Hello, Mr. War Will you show me peace? And he says to me You can see it in the eyes of those who've died for me Hello, Mr. Suicide Will you show me life? And he says to me You can see it in the eyes of those who ignore me. Hello, Mr. Apathy Will you show me care? And he says to me You can see it in the eyes of the politicians who strive for themselves Hello, Mr. Starvation Will you show me contentment? And he says to me You can see it in the eyes of the madman Hello, Mr. Anger Will you show me compassion? And he says to me You can see it in the eyes of lonely poets Hello, Mr. Anti Will you show me teamwork? And he says to me You can see it in the eyes of the weak and weary Hello, Mr. God Will you show me the answers? And he says to me Have you not seen them already?.. ------------------------------------
Phantom Posted November 21, 2002 Posted November 21, 2002 Hey thats a poem for the intellectually bored.. I love the whole contradiction elements that make it what it is....If not for 'different' poems like this....the world of poetry would have been long forgotten...Honestly.
Silent Death Posted November 27, 2002 Posted November 27, 2002 Wonderfully done. That was a breath of fresh air in poetry.
