"Help the world by helping each other", eh?
Not a very predominant doctrine, these days, is it?
Now, hmmm...Who was it who used to teach that, a LO-O-O-ONG time ago?
Oh, yeah, I remember!

hmmmmm Loved it and the structure.
To me the structure of this represented the turmoil and the helplessness in ones mind. Hey Im just sayin. If Im wrong Im wrong. lol But thats how I see this.
Loved the message in this also.
Great poem Allen

this was so perfectly constructed and worded...sometimes we write one of those poems that were just MEANT to be written, when it hits us, it is our duty to write it how it wants to be told or we might as well not even bother...you've done it complete and utter justice here, my friend, wow!

Very interesting structure. I liked it. Makes you really really read those words. Nice job.

Here's a hug if you are feeling helpless? ((sqeeze)) And here's a pat on the back for such a creative write with word play! :)
