    Poem Commentary

    I am a little down today so I decided to write my way into a little joy if it is possible

    It's a Cruel World
    It's a cruel world to be sure,
    Murders and mayhems every day,
    In every style, in every way.

    Watch the man in his fine suit,
    Kicking the boy for stealing some fruit
    When the fire comes to destroy.

    It steals the mate whom you love
    and then tells you to believe in a god above
    It has taken away your sense of peace

    Tis a cruel world this a fact
    Cruelty to eachother seems  the norm
    To this world I wish I was never born.

    Karate I have learned discipline not to use
    Yet I continually act out in this ruse
    Take me into your arms my goddess of light

    Remove my presence from this place I roam
    Take me unto your bosom and let me be home
    In you through you and with you I am a mirror

    All that you see I have made in my mind
    And all that you are, you will never find.
    And the curtain fell on the tragedy man.

    This poem is well written.Though there are many bad things and people in this world,there are still many more beautiful,good people and things.As poets(shamans of hope and vision)we have the pleasure and responsibility to reveal the possibilty of a new and better world.Hang in there and don't lose sight of the great gift you have been blessed with.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
