What is it?
What is it,
that everybody wants?
That they’ll do anything for?
That supersedes
individuality,
morals,
even happiness,
although some trade it for happiness.
What is it
to be so important?
What is it
that we let control our lives?
What is it,
controlled by the few,
that controls the masses?
A new technology?
A new form of medicine?
Could it possibly be money?
Whatever it is,
Remember what’s truly important in life.
Good poem, I like how you keep your lines short and use a lot of repeating lines to make your point ring through the readers thoughts.
ReplyDeleteVery nice poem James, and I really like that image
ReplyDeleteNice poem that makes you question life and those in it. However you probably should have found a license free image so this doesn't happen.
ReplyDeleteVery great poem James, it was even better being performed. Like how you put some mystery to it.
