Elwen Posted July 5, 2003 Report Posted July 5, 2003 Thoughts Give me something to believe in In this world of lies and disbelief I guess I know who my friends are What was he to you? Just another person gone Just another dead fag to you Just another number down in black and white Just a name and “he died of AIDS” Just another faceless casualty In this endless war Just another dead fag to you No name, no face, just a cause of death Just another life ended Don’t you think of all the lives left behind? A mother, a father, a sister, a brother, a lover? Don’t you think of all that was and all that can never be? No tears, no grief, only a “there goes another one” What does it matter to you? You don’t think of who he left behind Only those four little words But you get on T.V. preaching condolences and hypocrisy Sorrow you don’t really feel, speaking words you don’t live And the whole world believes you- But you didn’t even know his name Just another dead fag to you No name, no face, just a cause of death Just another life ended Don’t you think of all the lives left behind? A mother, a father, a sister, a brother, a lover? Don’t you think of all that was and all that can never be? No tears, no grief, only a “there goes another one” Another light missing in the endless days Another star gone out in the sky above But you don’t care It’s all the same to you Just a shake of the head, an “oh, well” Then back to life as usual Just another dead fag to you No name, no face, just a cause of death Just another life ended Don’t you think of all the lives left behind? A mother, a father, a sister, a brother, a lover? Don’t you think of all that was and all that can never be? No tears, no grief, only a “there goes another one” Is that all he was to you?

Damon Inferel Posted July 6, 2003 Report Posted July 6, 2003 (edited) Mrowr? I'm just a little confused, but in terms of writing, it was really good. Nice repetition as well. Meow, I suppose if I really consider it, I do understand this poem and it's quite true. Hn... It's hard to explain though, but I understand it... Good poem ashke. =^-^= (I stole Pip's kitty) >< (There's mine... she's right, hers is cuter...) Edited July 6, 2003 by Damon Inferel
smallscale_mind_games Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 You know, I wasn't going to comment originally (just to be mean as I told you over the phone) but the cat is howling in the background, and I've gotta do SOMETHING. I like this poem muchly. It's very well-written. Yess! Bash the system!
Vigil StarGazer Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 reminds me of that song "Another one bites the dust"
