Sadness_Creeping Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Sitting at my table Sitting at my table Trying to understand this fable This life is so good and bad Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm sad I grab my pack of smokes, and play with the foil I stop and I think of all the oil That fuels our lives And causes us to strive Wondering what will happen when we run out To many bad things, because of one drought Most of us drive around in our cars And hardly take the time to look at the stars They are above us looking down Even when we frown This industry age is setting the stage For a war that will wage Most of us choose to ignore Even though we know we could do more My life seems to be filled with all this friction The root cause being my addictions It's so hard to kick a bad habit alone This world makes me feel like a drone Getting up to work everyday I can't wait until I am old and gray I will look bad on this time alone and realize how much I have grown I might not be mentally stable, but hopefully I will be able to remember Sitting at my table...

registered Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 That was great Sadness_Creeping. Yeah the world is kind of a bittersweet sort of place...so much to enjoy and yet so much that disappoints. I too think that people do not take enough time to appreciate the small things... it's such a waste too. Most people age without experiencing all that they can. I try not to be such a person too, but like you say it isn't always easy! Our terrible consumerist, environmentally unfriendly lives of wasted money/resources/opportunity are an addiction and really are a poor excuse for not doing all that we can to better the world and prevent all of those things that disappoint. I want to leave a positive mark on this world. So mate, let's not give in to these addictions, let's try and make the most of life and give back as much as possible while taking as little as possible. I'm with you!

ForAnother Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Ya know, I worried a lot about us wasting our earth away, but we go to great lengths to figure out how to lessen what we do. No matter what, I think our existence on this earth gives this earth its death sentence. No matter how we react to how bad the environment is going, we have discovered technology, and once discovered there is no looking back... So now its looking to see what we can fix and rework. Don't be all too worried. -ForAnother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShySoul Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 You are talented Sadness_Creeping, keep on writing. Yes, the world is bittersweet. With good there comes evil. But despite all the harshness and pain, there is an incredible, unsurpassed beauty in life. We should focus on that more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwen Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I really like this poem, sadness. It reflects how I feel a great deal of the time, even if I am sort-of-fully recovered from depression. Thank you for writing this on the forum! Ilse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neva_black_n_white Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I like your poem. I guess we all get into a "routine" and it takes a strong person to step out of that addiction and well, rebel. QUIT YOUR JOB! lol, im only messing, but i like what you have to say. The world can flip just because a coin hits the ground, we all need to have a little more understanding, but i guess we have to tell the "right people" (whoever they are) to have something done about it. Anyway, great work! neva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
