Where In the World We

In a world, yeah this one..., where you think you exist only as fresh as the newest song on your spotify, songlist. Well, listen up, to your heart it still knows best. Wanna go through life livin it YOLO? careful there, just might end up livin' it solo. For me, nah.. not the way to go.. There's always been us, just us.. in the wide universe (don't ya see?) we're starvin' for it.. the gaunt, and alone.. I'll tell it to you plain, I hid from it too, all the cruelty.. all the pain. So what d'ya think.. oh world we? What's it to ya.. the meaning life's shown.. We need each other, all of us.. maybe more now.. than we've ever known.

Hello Ellen, Thank you for this comment. By the way, I really enjoyed the two in the less-lonely room in your poem 'Is It Me'. -Richard

Long time I have not been here, how are you? Your last paragraph packs a punch))) Connecting with people by one liners is not connecting. For me, it says nothing…example…” good one”, worse is “nice”. Unworthy of poets. I don’t blame the poets but the rush to be high on the comments board or community rank,set up by PS,. In the process, we get not to know each other at all. Comments are made like texting? Words thrown at you. It’s only my opinion. Panagiota

Great write / message I particularly like your third verse. YOLO = You only live once. (I had to look it up) :) Cheers - Gary

Gary, Thanks for that. I rather prefer WOLO, but don't hold to only one in belief. -Richard

A lovely write, I believe we need each other, all of us as every single living thing on this planet, being a part of not apart from. But I’m a weirdo ;), xomo
