Someone more than I

Posted Jan 16, 2012 · 16 lines · 6 critiques

And there is always someone in more pain,
a hunger to which I can not relate.
Someone who's anguish, borders on insane.
Someone with so much more upon their plate.

And what right do I have to make complaint?
What horrors have I suffered on this Earth?
Empty canvas devoid of hope or paint,
a victim from the moment of Its birth.

What right have I to morn upon its grave?
What solace gathered should I end it's plight?
What false anger unfurls the flags we wave?
And what would be the point, to win its fight?

To stifle pain and anguish is my fate.
I have no more worth I have been no saint.
As someone more than I needs to be saved.

by Jove !

"it is nicely written and really very clever, and should resonate with most poets. It's just that that crit level you chose shits me to tears. It leaves us very little to say beyond 'I like it' or 'I didn't like it'. les…"
