When One

J.L. Eck on Mar 25, 2009

Inspired by the daily abuses people go out of their way to give.

but to pick at me or you

Then one has nothing more

than an uneducated view

When one is easily perturbed

by the things we do or say

Then one surely deserves

the frown they wear each and every day

When one fights and yells and argues

Attacking those nearby

Then one will be lonely-one alone,

all alone forever till they die

In their eyes and out their nose

Then one has finally found their peace

in the dirt, body decomposed

When one tiny flower

rises from the ground above

And began to show the world love

hi loved the rythmn and the sentiment though the fatalism of it is a little upsetting and frankly a little unnerving for me. I hope you find what you seek. there is a lot of hurt and pain in that.at least im not a real critic eh
made its mark thank you
