Not a poet, just depressed!	I don't consider myself a poet, though I do like to be creative. I'm a sporadic writer; I know very little about structure, and the furthest experience I have with poetry is free-writes on hip-hop forums. I stand firm with the belief that words can be an extraordinary way to express and communicate the beautiful sentiments that we as humans feel (and should not avoid). This forum seems like a great medium to explore that dimension of my world. sooo.... hello! edited by Soulwriter on 6/10/2014

Tell me how terrible this is.	And be gentle about it. "Seeds of Desire" Enemies of love, pride and injustice The actions of the benevolent unnoticed Omnipotent powers Spark the cigarette that blinds your eyes The smoke that hugs your nose, and penetrates your clothes Grey streaks on rose-colored dyes The red man that guides your actions, Is the same man you look at in the mirror Childish ambitions, oh cute superstitions Ego of a scapegoat, the nightmares of gloat The pirates of humanity afloat with no fear They mime the tale of those who seek, The money in banks and the water of the creek Their enemies brandish guns, cars and jewelry Brownish tones of indifference The Robin Hood mentality of selfishness The human condition overlooked Suffering is malignant The cancer spreads to the lungs of the desperate Shooters of chemicals and perverts splattered in blood Shrewd victims of consequences Flooded in waste, the barriers of insecurity Robbing our children of their eloquent innocence
