MAKE A STAND Date: Sunday, 1st May 2005 @ 09:50:09 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: Onslaught Confronting evil I make a stand I may not win But I make a stand Seeking pleasure A waste of energy A diversion from intellect Draining my soul Until all power is gone from me Those who only Seek out pleasure Are afraid to think They only want to feel Foolishly believing That they are shaping their fate I grasp for understanding Beyond the realm Of our common senses These same old Boring troubles That plague humanity Are wearing me down This Life just isn’t enough for me But then again this life isn’t so easy Everything looks better When you’re up above it all But when you see its all a lie You have such a long way to fall You don’t really exist If you never mean What you say Do you think that your god Can’t see That you aren’t really sorry? Not even we can know If we ourselves are truly regretful Everything we say Everything we do Wether or not We are aware of it Is decided By our own selfish desires Confronting evil I make a stand I may not win But I make a stand This poem is Copyright © Onslaught Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
