Can you not see?
written by sarah1008709:56 AM 12/14/04When all comes all, fire meets fire,
You look inside to find yourself
Who you are and who you aspire.
Its not about poetic wealth.
If you claim that I'll call you a liar
So put your tin of arrogance back on the shelf
Its not about your support
Its not about a soul that is taught
Its a single thing that makes ppl unique
Not a label, social gang or clique
But a witnessing of truth and sight
Knowing that your doing all you can
Not cliaming authority or having a fight
But having peace with your fellow man
Witness ppl dying from potatoe blight
Helping, not creating a scam
So all in all when your life is through
Do you think your "poetic talent" will come too?
Cos it won't your life will have been wasted
On petty talk and foul word play
Only a small proportion of life you wud have tasted.
So comon say what you say
Continue if you must
Cos I know, I'm worth 10 of you,
poetic talent or none. |

| Truth is, I couldn't give a damn about you or my fellow man. Respect begets respect. And if you give me no respect, you do not recieve any in return. It is earned, not handed out like change from a broken 20$ after buying a 25 cents worth pack of gum. |

| Im not asking for ur respect....respect is only worth if u respect the person respecting you first, thats the common misconception, the chliche that you have been taught is flawed.....and you call me a sheep. |

| That's coming from someone that doesn't know what anarchy is. Jesus.
I teach myself. I've learnt that what I'm told is complete bullshit, I'd learnt that ages ago.
Poetry isn't about truth, it's about feelings, emotions and past events. Surely such a poet would know that?
Peace is rubbish. There can never be peace an a perfect world or an imperfect world. Everyone's perfection is flawed. Everyone's perfection is different. Therefore, peace cannot be obtained.
What is potatoe blight, exactly?
"Petty talk". You claim my talk is petty but you know nothing of what I speak. How foolish. I am into politics, and freedom of speech. How "petty" is that? It isn't. Stupid little girl.
You say I'd have only tasted a "small proportion of life". Meeting famous people, having 4 different jobs, travelling a lot, having many different disorders - and recovering from some, being depressed at one point and being manic at another... there's more. You claim I haven't seen life when I've seen sun and moon, I've seen grass and sad, mud and water. Yet you still claim I've seen nothing of life. I do believe you know nothing of what you speak. It's just words that come out of your mouth with misconcepted meanings.
Despite everyone being an individual, and everyone having individual needs - no one person (or 1 million people) is worth more than another. People's lives are not based on money. Therefore all human's worth is the same. "Learn what you speak, before you speak" - Mahatma Ghandi. |

| I'm stating just a few of the events of my life. Just them few things prove that I have seen more of the world than a snotty-nosed 17 year old that think's she's better than everyone. *sigh* |

| im not snotty nosed in the slightest!! Haha. I find that your turning your negative characteristics onto me...ne need to deflect away from your thoughts. |

| You have an extremely biassed opinion. You are snotty nosed, wether you deny it or otherwise. I'm snotty nosed? There was me thinking "snotty nosed" was a metaphor for an annoying someone who is under the age of 18. *sigh* The last part of your last comment made absolutely no sense. Maybe if you reworded it I';d be able to write an appropriate response. |

| Maybe if you took a moment of self reflection you'd realise that despite your blatant thinking of "I'm better than everybody" you're really just another walking being. |
