Ashamed!

you know what shames me?

 

when someone wins

others are jealous

their envy doesnt end until they beat you

why be mean?

we are the same arent we?

 

why cant we play and not fight

sometimes i want to scream

" stop fighting"

why cant we be at peace?!

 

of course, how can you not be ashamed of what you say?

ill just slam the door if i ever see hypocrites going near me

why does hate need to exist?

Brenda welcome into the dirty ways of the world!!! Some people just can't stand to see someone else happy or successful. And the sad thing is that it exists everywhere in some fashion!!!

You have captured it wondefully with your poem and its structure with its big font adds so much value to it :)

[Huggy Bear]

Great piece:)

[misha]

Such insight put into a poem. Great job!

[Dreamer]

This is very sad but it is true. The world really does play dirty but guess what... that doesnt mean you have to play dirty too:) Now that doesnt mean because u play fair others will play fair too. That may never happen sadly. At least u'd be doing the right thing and u'll always be saisfied knowing that. Mostly likely by acting this way u'll inspire some else to do the same:)

A lot of wisdom in this poem. Good people celebrate with their friends. They are not jealous of victories. The celebrate victories and cry together in lost. Thank you for a excellent poem.

Because it is the balance to love and one cannot exsist without the other.
Not tomention the fact that we are only human and it can be used as a rallying cry to affect change in a most positive way so that the hate, the enitial feeling that started the cry goes away never to be felt again. Hate is not "a good thing" but it can be used for good. If that makes any since to you. With all that said I liked this piece though.

O_o so true... Loved it :)

[The Analog Kid]

Very true. Hate will consume you...

[Chris]

mainly because people want attention too... winners get applause and people try to be near... they ARE noticed...

Anger really happens when peeps aren't noticed.

Good thoughts... neat font and size choice.
