Arthur Vaso Poet Light Verse

I Hate You All

Yes you, and you, and you over there
The nerve you all have, it’s sickening
What right do you have to leave this world?
Why do you all die on me?
What is life that you toss it away?
Old and sick, humppph excuses I say
I have had enough
No one must leave
Stop, I command time to STOP
Are my tears not enough?
You all conspire against me, I know
To add me to your collection
Of death
Why? Why? Why?
All your kind smiles, laughter and love
You make the world shine, and give hope
Only to disappear to the afterlife
Is this not cruelty?
I beg of you all, do not go
I have not the strength to carry on
Here, as you all dwindle away
Leaving me to ponder my own mortality
Alone, alone I sit, knowing romance will be kindled once more
Death will come to offer me a final kiss
Whom will hate me?

Robert Lindley May 1, 2014 at 11:30 PM I have lived much of that. Felt the same sadness and anger at death. Death tried to kiss me TOO but like a virgin I resisted its embrace. Now it must wait for another sanctioned visit... as I store more ammo to fight with..

Carolyn Devonshire April 7, 2014 at 3:23 PM Hello Arthur, I guess many people feel betrayed when those they love pass away. Indeed, it's hard to move forward after experiencing such a loss, but we do find a way somehow. It's not easy, so hang in there, Arthur. Your poem is powerful and other writers will relate to it as well. Best wishes, Carolyn Arthur Vaso April 7, 2014 at 9:37 PM Thank you that was the message I was trying to portray!

Lucilla Carrillo April 6, 2014 at 11:43 PM Great poem, I know just how you feel. So many of the people that I knew have left already. Everyday that I wake up - my life starts over again. I promise In won't leave yet.... Lucilla

Cherl Dunn April 6, 2014 at 9:32 PM Welcome back dearest of friends, where have you been, i've missed you being on the soup, i'm glad you enjoyed my EDMUND. Your write about death did not disappoint me either, but it's a sadness to it's lines, i look at death a different way though, it's the kisses promise to begin another jouney beyond, i've almost died a few times, and so i really don't fear death, but i'm at peace with the next step ahead but that is me. cheri Arthur Vaso April 6, 2014 at 10:09 PM thank you Cherl, not sure how much free time I will have but I sure missed being here!
