Wow, I just read that and just . . .wow. You’re very talented. You should seriously publish that.
Thanks for the kudos – perhaps one day this, and other works of mine, shall see print….
I like it.
Thanks. I’m glad you do…
i love it! I love it!
fucking brilliant, man!
faves (pretty much the entire poem, really….):
Some people worship idols
without looking within
Some people live in mansions
Some people sleep on streets
Some people hide in masses
Some people join elites
Some people thrive on chaos
give birth to dancing stars
Some people like to swallow
Some people simply spit
Some people thrive on passion
whilst some could give a shit
Some people love the limelight
Some people need their niche
Some people stave off panic
hold others on a leash
Re: i love it! I love it!
Why thank you, m’dear!
You keep up that sketching of yours…
“give birth to dancing stars” that part made me giggle.
the poem was really long but entertaining. I like what you had to say about everyone.
the “give birth to dancing stars” bit was from my reading of Nietzsche…..he’s a pretty poetic philosopher….
Liked that you liked the poem…
Yeah, really good. I read it and kept thingkig… “that line’s me, that line’s not me…..” Thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked it….
