Misery Loves Company

I see so much negative stuff on here, and I wonder does anyone like the positive stuff?

People love misery 

People love darkness

They want to read bad news 

They want to see death 

They want to cry

There's no room 

They say 

There is no room for you 

Because when I see a problem 

I solve it 

Because when I feel pain 

I bare it 

Because when there's no love 

I make it 

Is that too good for you?

People love mainstream 

They love floating downstream 

People love colourless language 

Or so it seems

People love murder and the same empty promises 

People love the scape goat 

Oh and people love the perfect cop out

It's too hard 

They say

It's too hard to improve 

No, you just don't want to

Because my poetry has wonder 

Read it 

My heart is beating 

Feel it 

I know we can complete it 

All these puzzles with their missing pieces 

I know you have emotion 

And I want you to be open 

But dwelling on a heart once broken 

Is not the way to live

I see this too...in much of the verses I read at the Cafe...I even went back into history and read them...and the song still plays the same tune...we can change the order of things...but with change there is a period of chaos in a group of writers that are comfortable with the rut...they just need to open their minds and let the insanity pour out of them and start living again...
