    Poem Commentary

    Just how hard it is to make it in a world so harsh.

    No Such Thing as Stars

     Out here,
    In the city,
    There is no such thing
    As a star,
    Because out here,
    In the city,
    Nobody takes time
    To look that far.
    This city is bright
    With the silhouettes of
    Sky scrapers.
    This city is going to drown.
    I've got to get away
    From here,
    But nowadays
    Opportunities rarely
    Appear,
    Because there is no such thing
    As a star out here.

    lol, country girl, AND antitechnology. love it. Like I said, I'm trying not to think of the inspiration, mainly because it makes me sick. I would like to use this in the CB.

    love this poem. it's so true. in this world now built around technology no one takes time to just look at the stars.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
