Social Circus

Social Circus

A Poem by Maan
"

The world we are living in, has become a circus.

"
The life you’re living
The life I’m living
Is no more than a stone
attached with a strong thread
swirling by an unknown someone
Your life is a show
My life is a showcase
Like a puppet or some magician show
Playing there acts in their stalls
So dependant,
with skillful subordinates
of no skillful masters
But all of them get so admiration
Like they are gods of some sort 
Some of us are like the caged animals
Relying completely on our untrained masters
Some of us are the birds
the victims of the magic show
We have no trainer
Nor some inspiration
The pretenders we got
The pretenders we are
We’re living worst than the animals
They are what they are
We are what we learn to show
We’re just like the clowns
Trying to spread smiles
But all we are doing is scaring kids
We have become a part
A part of never ending circus
With no hope of alteration the scene
With no intentions to breathe
Because we have become a part
A part of the social circus

Your poem presents some interesting observations. While it's true that some people try to be very controlling, others allow themselves to be controlled. And living among others in a society means that we are constantly bumping into and interacting with others. The only way to avoid that is to live the life of a hermit. While you poem is well done it would be better if you changed a few word choices that the computer would not catch. The line, "But all of them get so admiration" doesn't make sense to me. And there are other places like that. You'll catch them when you do a careful proofread, making your good poem even better.

The grammar is a little rough; I think English may not be your first language? It is an intriguing idea, though, the thought that we are puppets without skillful masters. Polish up the grammar, if you can, and this will really be a great poem.

This expresses your intent very well. It seems no one is allowed to be "real" by society. You have to watch your back at all times. To show your vulnerabilities is to invite scorn and backstabbing. Who can be totally real, with no masks, under such conditions?

This is a very deep piece. I love the simile you use with the clown reference, and that we are scaring the kids(very clever). Good work :)

Love the poem :)
Makes me happy my friends aren't as the poem describes people. There a lot of possers and a lot of people aren't. :) Just gotta look hard enough, and you'll see the world is full of people that are different.
:D KEEP WRITING!

This poem speaks the harsh truth. Well done on expressing your feelings about the socially constructed world we all live in. Not many people are able to see it that way..but I'm glad to know that at least some see the world from a perspective that isn't so obvious. Thanks for sharing and thanks for reviewing my work!
