Society

Society can't rule us all

Like what streets you can play ball.

The love you cherish

Has to be locked in a cage

Because of the difference in two lovers' age.

The way you get your anger out

The wrists that show the marks,

You have to keep them covered because

Society would torture like sharks.

You have to hide the way you dress

Avoid the names they call.

Stereotypical voices

Usually win all.

Chavs, Emos, goths and tarts,

s***s or w****s, they always leave marks.

One thing we all have to learn

No matter what the day,

Society won't accept anything

We do or think or say.

Exactly my outlook on society...they won't accept anything nowadays. They won't stand for anyone trying to do thier own thing. Soon, it'll be a new age of 1984, where soon we'll always be watched by telescreens and Big Brother. We soon won't be allowed to do things by ourselves without assistance with us at all times. With society, we aren't allowed to be ourselves...express ourselves...escape...

Very, very strong piece! It's quite hard to read for the fact that I myself have been in situations that are in this piece. It brings back memories - not really the best memories, but you did absolutely capture what today's society is. Sometimes they don't get any nicer and the line 'They all leave marks' is really evident because people don't realize or some do, but I've been hurt so many times mentally by people.. Id rather be hit than someone say something that they cannot take back. Very great write!

Freedom is something missed when you don't have it anymore. I live your strong voice in this poem. Some rules are needed. No need for hateful words. Just accept people for who they are. You fear in your words are true. The Government want more control. Only good Government is a small one that decide budget and needed laws and goes home. A excellent poem. Made me think.

Though we should never forget one thing...we're part of that society. So in a way we're also part of the problem

Society is nothing more than a lie and I love people who put this out there. High five to you!
:D
The many things that make society unbearable is the amount of ignorance and bad choices people make which affect others. Beautiful poem and very simple.
