this is not apoem but perhaps food for thought:




iT IS RAINING RAIN AND FEELINGS INTO THE EARTH AND THEY ARE TRODDEN DEEPLY SUBMERGED UNTIL THEY FLOW INTO THE ROCKS BELOW. THEY ARE LOST AMONGST THE FOSSILS OF THE CENTURIES. LONG FORGOTTEN AS IF THEY NEVER DID EXIST.NO MATTER HOW HARD WE RACE AND RUN TO HOLD THEM BACK WE WILL NEVER RETRIEVE THEM-- NEVER CATCH A GLIMPSE OF WHAT WAS TRUE OR WHAT WAS FALSE.

WOULD A FISHING NET SAVE THEM FROM CASCADING INTO THE DEPTHS? A FISHING NET HAS TOO MANY HOLES, WOULD A MERMAID CATCH THEM AS SHE SWIMS GALLANTLY TO SNATCH AT THEM AS THEY DESCEND SO SWIFTLY INTO THE TORRENTS OF TIME.

SHE WOULD NEED TO SWIM FASTER THAN IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THOSE FEELINGS WISH TO BE LOST AND NEVER DISPLAYED TO A SOUL IN THE WORLD.

HOW SAD IT IS.DID THEY HAVE A SOUL? PERHAPS ANOTHER SOUL MIGHT CATCH THEM BEFORE TOO LATE THEY ARE FOREVER LOST AND MANGLED.

PERHAPS THEY NEVER DID EXIST.

DO HUMANS EVEN EXIST OR ARE THEY TOO JUST A FIGMENT OF THE IMAGINATION THAT CAN BE SCORED OUT WITHIN A BLINK OF AN EYE.

WHY BE BORN AT ALL? WHAT IS THE POINT OF ARRIVING ON THIS EARTH? IS IT ALL A CONTINUOUS LESSON THAT SOMEHOW IS NEVER LEARNED.

WHAT IS A HUMAN BEING? WHY DO THEY EXIST? WHAT REASON CAN THERE BE TO ARRIVE ON EARTH AT ALL WHEN ALL THEY DO IS KILL EACH OTHER SOMETIMES WITH UNSEEN THOUGHTS THAT PENETRATE THE SOUL. IS IT NOT BETTER TO BE KILLED BY THE SWORD RATHER THAN THE HIDDEN SECRETS OF THE MIND.

THOSE THAT TORTURE OTHERS BY THEIR ACTIONS OR LACK OF ACTIONS THOSE THAT HIDE THEIR THOUGHTS BEHIND A MASK.

WHY ALL THE SECRETS? ROBOTS NEED NO FEELINGS BUT HUMAN BEINGS DO OTHERWISE THEY MAY AS WELL BE ROBOTS TOO.

WHAT DID OSCAR WILDE WRITE?

"AND ALL MEN KILL THE THING THEY LOVE
BY ALL LET THIS BE HEARD
SOME DO IT WITH A BITTER LOOK
SOME WITH A FLATTERING WORD
THE COWARD DOES IT WITH A KISS
THE BRAVE MAN WITH A SWORD!

SO DOES THIS MEAN THAT NO MAN SHOULD DARE TO LOVE ANOTHER? ONE CAN NEVER LOVE WITHOUT BEING HURT.

IS IT SO MUCH EASIER TO SUPPRESS ALL FEELINGS AND JUST LIVE IN A VACUUM OF PRETENCE AND HAVE A BARBED WIRE CAGE SURROUND THE SOUL AND HEART?

IS IT BETTER TO NEVER HAVE KNOWN LOVE AND LEAD A COLD BLANK EXISTENCE WHERE FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS ARE NEVER ALLOWED TO EMERGE OR TAKE OVER. BE LIKE A BLOCK OF ICE?

PERHAPS BUT WHAT IS THE SAYING? "iT IS BETTER TO HAVE LOVED AND LOST THAN NEVER TO HAVE LOVED AT ALL." BUT THEN THAT MEANS TORMENT SO IS IT REALLY WORTH LOSING ONES HEART TO ANOTHER?
IS THE AGONY AND PAIN WORTH ALL THE ANGUISH WHEN LOVE IS REJECTED?

FOR THE ONE WHO LOVES? SHOULD THEY BECOME AS A WOODEN TOY THAT IS MANIPULATED BY OTHERS. iT SEEMS FOOLISHNESS INDEED. CAN THEY TAKE BACK THE LOVE THAT IS UNWANTED? WILL THE LOVED ONE EVEN NOTICE OR CARE? MOST LIKELY NOT.

IS A WOMAN ALLOWED TO LOVE ANOTHER WOMAN? IS IT A CRIME?

sorry this is all in capitals. I am unsure how to alter the font to lower case.
