Manifesto Pt. 10
Perhaps one must be hurt
To be a poet
It seems like it
Many here should maybe
put down the pen
meet
and give each other some
Secretly I wonder
How many are hiding
This ardor is wasted on us
who find emotion and sex incongruent
who have enjoyed or suffered hundreds
genders random, names forgotten
or never known
So many have chosen
To have their lives “destroyed”
Who hold grudges instead
of just touching again
Did you think that union was real?
Stop kidding yourself
Even if you murdered them in jealous rage
and killed yourself in remorseful sorrow
You died alone

Word…
Great poem
This stands alone as a challenging thought provoker.
True, we all die alone. Also true (besides life) death is the thing we all have in common?
Thought provoking! Yes! I agree we die alone! We live as we exist in harmony!!!
