VA.Tech....A Poem of Contemplation.

Views (432) Tragedy Created on 4-19-07 Flag
Anger.
Anger can be the cause of many things
A tear streaked pillow slung across a half-made bed
Or a well shot bullet
Its aim predetermined to squelch the life of another
But why the differences
Why treat the same emotion with such disparity
Is there a reason why some keep the anger hidden within
Nothing more than a painful lump in our throats
Soon forgotten
While others let it rule their lives
Making them into the killers they always knew they were
Well I guess its never so black and white
But the fact still stands
Anger can lead to insanity
That is if its coaxed and clouted in just the right ways
A few bad days
A couple of rejections
And then a head full of bullets
Though in the end its all just pain
So to keep things as they should be
We must remember the perspective of others
As well as ourselves
Just a thought…

Though I will leave this writing open-ended
Because in real life the question never ends…

seekerovtruth Cause and effect. I love the twisted sentiment of one's stuffing of anger, vrs another's releasing there of, and the edginess of simplicity that swings the pendulum past the point of no return. Awesome poem.

Lookin4TruLuv I wondered the reasoning when it happened...Your thoughts are so uniquely intriguing. Amazing how you could take something so tragically painful, and point out that even the seemingly reasonless actions have causes. :) WOW!!

PunkTurk17 To contemplate and to react. You'd think after all that as happened people would think more, but I suppose most would rther just act like they're the only ones in this world and thus... But supposing... At the same time without bad things you wouldn't know the good things. *shrugs*

Tony1985 Wow! This makes mine look like a first grade poem. Wonderful use of words. There were some parts that seemed a little hastey like 'a head full of bullets' but it helped explain the whole anger theme. I do believe we have a poem that will top at least 50 by sundown tomorrow. Nice work!
