I have no soul...

Voices cry out to us every day. Do we ever really hear them?

I have no soul…

I am dust

              No magazine face

                              FACELESS

I am mud

              No hands of grace

                              NAMELESS                     

I am hunger

              No bed of lace

                              HOMELESS

I am blood

              No resting place

                              HELPLESS

Do I even have a soul…in your eyes???

 

Author's Note

Tried to be a little more experimental than my other poems to try and reach a more subconscious level of pain and fear.

You indeed have a soul, you've shown it as best it can be showed, in so many poems, but, in this you surpass yourself. Every word, every phrase is constructed vey simply yet with enormous power and meaning.

Wonderful writing, really wonderful

[Charlène Boutin]

This is a very touching poem, and I see this kind of situation every day- it is sad to think that people today, and since forever, tend to forget that the others they are causing torment to around them have a soul of their own. Your words are beautifully written and bring out a strong message to us all.

[Dezaraye]

This is a powerful piece and brings an important issue into focus. I think that we so often forget that people (besides ourselves) have souls. It's easier for me to be understanding and accepting when I remember that the person that is annoying me has a heart and a soul ... just like I do and that there is probably pain and anguish in their life that I can't even see.

Thanks for sharing this piece with us.

Craig, this is extraordinary! It is quite experimental for you, I think. But, it works. Perfectly. I like the "in your face" nature of it. It really makes one stop and consider things we normally don't. Nicely done!

Nicely done,
you definitely accomplished the experimental goal.
I like the way it's structured: your use of capitals, spacing and bold.
Good write.

I liked the way you did this poem, three in one to describe every emotion. Great job

[Emily Elizabeth]

Wow, I liked this! A very well-written, interesting and philosophical piece that really makes you think. I loved the style, structure and overall format of the poem- very unique and attention grabbing! A very enjoyable read- thanks for sharing

[DaniElle LaPointe]

Very nice. It is refreshing to see this organized as it is. I went throught the lines four times to line up the movement of ideas.... I can see there is more than one poem happening here and I like this style. Thank you for sharing.

i really like this.... i like how you used the font... it kind of reminded me of using letters cut out from magazines and newspapers to form the words.... it makes it more raw .. simple at first glance but deeper and complex... really well done
