Let Them

Let them burn,

In the love of hatred

Let them crave,

For what is not destined

Let them desire,

For the non-existing truth

Let them wait,

For things invisible

Let them shout,

For no one will hear

Let them cry

For no one will see the tears

Let them trust,

For what they don’t know is

Unreal,

Plastic and

Lie.

Very intense, yet simple. Open to interpretation, and I'm sure each reader will see something a bit different from these words.

Wow! That is an amazing piece of poetry. This holds true for all those who have this desire for materialistic things and worldly possessions. This also holds true for all those who envy others and burn in the fire of hatred. The oxymoron in line 2 is simply superb- the best part of your poem, according to me. You got it right on the money. Keep writing.

Thanks a ton!

Very well written, it will read to many interpretations. Everyone will see 'them' as the person whom they would like to see in that particular situation.

Thank you! :)

Best way is trough experience. Nothing will ever show you whats good or bad the way experiencing it first hand will. I much enjoyed it. Keep it up:-)

So true. We lose ourselves in the superficial and forget what's important.
