Mairi Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Sincerity I look around and stand on my own feeble feet Glancing at the nobodies who surround me I raise my glass and with one loud proclamation; ?Here?s to a lifetime of lies and deception? Applause and we all swirl the envy-green liquid into our mouths The taste of impurities fresh on our tongues We talk of bitterness and the less fortunate We laugh but only at the expense of others We speak but it?s only to degrade each other We think but it?s only intense jealous thoughts I suppose sincerity is too hard to grasp nowadays Please comment.

OLD 55 Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 I think it's a very well structured poem - and it IS a poem, doesn't have to rhyme - but very cynical for one so young. There's a lot of GOOD, sincere people in the world too. Sometimes you just have to look a little deeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete38890 Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 I applaud the talent and the cynicism. And there's this seed: it made me look at myself and want to change. The feeling will pass, but in the brief moments that I consider your song I hate what I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete38890 Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 That is to say that you don't know but you want to appear clever? And what makes you think you're invited to this conversation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 No, it's saying I don't know but I have an idea. And I started this conversation. If you want to be a little b*tch, go start another RH conversation. Don't make me hack you up with an ice pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete38890 Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 I like you. I really like you. You have the kind of attitude that will serve you well in later years. Here's hoping you live the insular kind of life that will insure longevity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
