An Expansion of a Question

A modicum of triumph.
A moment of no regret.
Is followed in sadness,
And bitter loose ends.
When you don't know whats wrong or whats right.
Why do we even fight? 
The weight of the world is oppressing and vile. 
Its takes a great deal just to make me smile.

Thanks, I sometimes prefer little ditties like this one, they give me a chance to experiment with some rhymes and flowing language. I saw some of your what I consider to be beat poetry, and I have to say the idea intreges me. I will have to send you some of the stuff I come up with and we can compare notes or something. ~TheSinfulOne
