Amy Green Poet Carpe Diem

Your Sickness

Where's the zeal in being a zealot?
Single minded entities always
Forcing, pushing, constantly attack.
Keep your sick. altered, mechanistic
Ideals far away from me.

Thanks but no, I can think for myself,
No need for your help
Feels like the Crusades- believe or die
Look and see  I’ll never be
Your brainwashed puppet

Richard Lamoureux April 10, 2014 at 8:30 PM It is good to defend our minds against drastic thinking. Thanks so much for picking my poem I appreciate it. I am curious, two of the top placing poems seemed to have nothing to do with the contest. Perhaps I am missing something. My curiosity always gets the best of me, please forgive me for asking. Amy Green April 11, 2014 at 8:12 AM I wrote a blog about it. I messed up and somehow they ended up there, not sure what I did, but you are correct. They are not supposed to be there, there was only one 1st place winner.
