The World Is Preserved MAG
November 30, 2008
Why don’t the blades of grass
Curl away from the flame
How dare the sun
Not hide its head in shame
Why does that tree
Stand so tall
Why don’t the stars
Click off and fall
Your being is twisted
Your body is burned
Life is ending
But the world is preserved

Holy cow. It was really good, but so dang simple. I wish I could just flat out say things like that poem does. I think that that's where the charm lies in it, even though its such a negative viewpoint. It's honest and truly describes feelings that most of us have felt: "How can The World dare to be beautiful when everything in my world is going wrong?"
