Human Prosthetic

                             Wanker
             Is that the best you can do, then?
   Is your existence so shallow and empty that you’re to
   the point where you just sit there making excuses for   
                            yourself?

                            Take heed.
             Everyone is tired of your bitching.
  The world is full of pain and suffering. Stop deluding
      yourself that you’re the only one; you’re not.
                            Shut up....

                            For many
             Their world is blighted by darkness.
  But they pave their own way, they’re getting through it.
                            But not you.
                          You are only....
                             Pathetic.

Jess.....I

Jess I can normally follow/understand the thinking behind the words, But i have read and re-read, But still i am blind, maybe looking too far? I can see Chrys message/explaination, but i am struggling, The ryhme and structure is consistant, You have stumped me,......... Very Best Regards Peter ~~~~~~~~~Creativity Is to think more efficiently~~~~~~~~~~

Easter eggs

are pretty much the only hidden things I'm good at discovering. For me, it expresses the incredible frustration and anger that can be provoked in the challenge of helping others and ourselves accept responsibility for our lives. It also reminded me of one of my favorite poems- "Lies" by Yevtushenko. Do you know it? My only techincal comment regards the last stanza - "For many." The initial lines of the first two stanzas are comments directly aimed at the reader. I expected that in the last stanza, too. Powerful- I'd be afraid to complain in your presence.
