en-lighten yourself by ~MissUnderstand:iconMissUnderstand:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Sociopolitical > Open


I stand
converse bland.
Push an item through.
(which you times by two)

     -- Quite unnecessary

I ponder - wonder - am
counfounded by how you
could possibly do --
that to yourself
jeapordize your health?!

I feel an obligation
      -- great temptation
to cause a negation!

To en(lighten)
            in a sense.

Would you take offence,
if I were to condense...
your bill
to nill?

I hope you pay
          your taxes.

Do you ever wonder
what your cashier is thinking
as you display your
life
on the conveyor belt
in the grocery store?

Well here you go.
When you stand
converse bland...
Weather's nice...
I hate your vice...

I hope you pay your taxes.
So mine can go to
educate.

(I don't care if I offend. You choose your style of life.)

I'm not going to ask you to,
but it would be nice,
if my gallery had visit from you.

I'm a poet and dint know it!
~MissUnderstand:iconMissUnderstand: May 4, 2008, 10:16:35 PM
Different in a good way?
I'm not sure how you read my poetry,
but it should be choppy at times, times where I'm confused about something I generally read as choppy, yet as a coherent thought... kind of like how I think in real life though
My poems really are a glimpse into my mind. :|

Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

Have you ever performed these all spoken-word like?

They'd fit that scene perfectly, methinks.
~MissUnderstand:iconMissUnderstand: Jun 4, 2008, 5:42:21 PM
I have never even seen spoken word, let alone done it.
I do not have the confidence to go up there
and let others see me,
let alone read them my diary.
But my friend and I have thought about it.

I haven't either, and the thought of actually doing it scares me to death, hahaha.

It just seems well suited to that format.

I would like to go see some spoken word.
Maybe one day I will have the confidence.
Haha... Not sure I would do this one though,
Go up and talk about wanting overweight people to stop coming through my checkout with junk food?
Doesn't sound very artsy if you know what I mean ;p
