TWO FORMS OF ESCAPE

your writing is angry
is what that person implied
when we talked.
he went on to say,
it's too serious
and if i want that
all i need to do
is watch the news on TV,
and even the bands of late
these days make me sick
because they have
some kind of message.
i want an escape;
something that doesn't
remind me of what
is around me.
if that is the case,
then doesn't it
imply that looking
the other way
is the root cause
of our country's demise?
why should i look the other way
and be a fake?
this is the reason
i come here to escape.
does it make me angry
if i want to search
out what is true
by the way i feel?
you bet it does!!

A very powerful rant about society's stifling negativity.

Very strong

I like writes like this. The conversational tone draws in the reader. Nice work.

Punching bag <grin>

I heard it said "Man was made with his face facing where he is going," to play off that ..."if a person annoys you, do you take the same steps as a siren, or a fog horn/tornado hurricane, ...seems we learn to endure what life throws at us <grin> very very very good poem (~_~)

An excellent title...

for an equally excellent poem of statement, don. It is a very interesting story in itself how you were inspired to write this piece, as is told in the first of the poem's lines. In spite of the negative and narrow minded attitude that was created from that source, you have produced a very positive and thought provoking piece - a definite "5" in My book!
