    Desperate Times

    I'm living in a negative world.
    At the end of days,
    in these desperate times.
    These ARE desperate times...
    People under such pressure;
    People losing their minds...
    Tryin to find an escape,
    Half my friends have DIED...
    But I still live on
    enduring the pain;
    Remembering days
    that were better times.
    There WERE better times.
    Biding my time until revolution is here
    and I will gladly put my life on the line...
    Yes! I would DIE if need be
    for us all to be free;
    And I know I am not the
    only one feeling these...sentiments.
    My relationship with mankind is intimate
    and no machine will ever replace that.
    No mistake that
    in my soul I feel the beat of some other drum
    At times feel so... out of unison
    but never so discouraged
    that I would choose to run
    from destiny.
    Liberty!
    I'll settle for less only if
    my head is severed from the rest of me...
    Realize all my life
    I've been waiting for a sign
    No amount of wealth
    could reverse the tears I've cried,
    or regain for me the things I've left behind.

    very good! what reader could not relate! n yes! MFs are full of hate!

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
