Minds On Diesel

UNDERSTAND BUT CAN'T ACCEPT
THE LINES ARE TOO THIN,
THE STEPS ARE TOO BIG,
THE BLOOD IS TOO THICK AND
THE HURRY KILLS THE SANE.

THOUGHTS ARE FASTER THAN ALL THINGS.
THE SUN RISES EVERYDAY,
TOOTHBRUSHES FAKING HEALTH AND VANITY EVERYDAY,
THE DOG DIES EVERYDAY,
I AM EVERYDAY, AND WHILE I AM,
IT ACHES.

UNDERSTAND BUT CAN'T MAKE IT UNDERSTANDABLE.
I ENVY THOSE SMILES, YOU THINK IT'S EASY TO LIVE A LIE,
BUT NO IT ISN'T.
RUB ME SHIVERS. RUB ME SOUND.
RAPE YOUR FEELINGS AND THEN REACH SALVATION,
ALIENATION AND ALL THOSE NATIONS ALL AROUND.

Intense and invigorating. With every concept added, a lie can never be the easiest truth to cope with. It looks perfect but it isn't. The one that caught my attention was "THE SUN RISES EVERYDAY,
TOOTHBRUSHES FAKING HEALTH AND VANITY EVERYDAY,
THE DOG DIES EVERYDAY,
I AM EVERYDAY, AND WHILE I AM,
IT ACHES."

Those four lines are true and the toothbrush contrast makes it even more unique on what you're trying to add. Nice touch.

Definitely a thought provoking piece. I am everyday, and while I am, it aches......this is a brilliant piece of work Karina!

This poem made me leave with so many unanswered questions.
It really made me think about life. You really brought the heat
on this one. It's flaming with passion.

You have emerged as the champion of all that is pure and good.

FANASTIC! The feelings of anguish,angst,and irritation are read clearly through your words. Also the feeling of emotions used so often that they become rubbed to the point of being raw.

[Tasha]

Wow Karina, this was profound and really really good. Wonderful and darkly written write.
