Question: When it comes to us, what will we choose!?
No-
thing is precious any-
more!.
They've skinned
our hopes
and sold the folded flesh
for dimes on the dollar!.
We need each other
now
more than we want
to admit!.
No-
thing is worthless any-
more!.
We've braided
the bridge
and heartened the hapless
with beautiful dreams!.
No-
thing is hidden any-
more!.

Our gantry has become
us!.

"We need each other

i choose to find the precious in each day!. Good music, laughing with friends, a flower, a rainbow, a birds song, a good cup of coffee, a hug, giggles with a kid, a ferris wheel ride, holding a hand, a good cold beer, watching a football game, my kitty playing, the full moon smiling down, a beautiful sunrise, a walk on the beach,!.!.!.shall i continue!?
that's MY choiceWww@QuestionHome@Com

Choose Life!. Choose a job!. Choose a career!. Choose a family!. Choose a f*****g big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers!. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance!. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments!. Choose a starter home!. Choose your friends!. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage!. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of f*****g fabrics!. Choose DIY and wondering who the f**k you are on Sunday morning!. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing f*****g junk food into your mouth!. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, ****** up brats you spawned to replace yourselves!. Choose your future!. Choose life!.!.!. But why would I want to do a thing like that!?

I chose not to choose lifeWww@QuestionHome@Com

Our gantry has not become us!. This is a pessimistic and non-productive way of viewing life!. The world has not changed; we must create our own spaces and circles if we are to live in it with any kind of joy or satisfaction!. This is possible, but it requires effort!. We have so little time; we should not waste it on pessimism!.

Oh yes, the poem: the message for me has overshadowed the medium!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Oh, NO, don't post something like this when my head is full of day's stress, my eyes tired from strain, and I don't want to think! This is a MORNING type post, for freshly rested and fresh caffeine started!

I loved "heartened the hapless with beautiful dreams," making nothing into no thing with the line break!.!.!.and had to look up gantry to understand that we are the framework!.!.!.!.whew, may I go to bed now!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes it to the point that seems to be all we really have but I feel lucky sometimes to have that and those few choices I have the freedom to make for myself!. Your poetry seems to make a lot of things more bearable for me!. Taking my deepest darkest thoughts and expressing them verbally or on paper is not a talent I have!. Your poems hit home in my heart!. Thank you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill
