RE: Society and What She IsSociety is essentially people achieving "happiness" from other people, whether it is mutual or parasitic (we have recently been leaning towards the latter). We live in a materialistic world and until you wipe the greed from every man's face we will never truly be happy as a society. We often strive to change this world of ours by offering rules of kindness and the such but really and truly no one ever abides them. So in all honestly, you just can't change society. Though you can make an impact, but even the most beautiful, kind thought you ever could think wouldn't sway a truly greedy person. These people, actually mostly anyone, fears anythi

The Memory of a DogThere are good dogs,
There are bad dogs,
There are dogs that we forget.
There are dogs that we love.
There are dogs that we live with.
and there are dogs that we cannot.

MirageI was told to meet you in the basin,
In the valley between the dunes over there,
The sandy breezy stung like capsaicin,
And relentlessly tugged at my hair.

I already felt like I was beat,
As I took my step and fell,
How I hated this terrible heat,
And all this awful sand as well.

I climbed the dune well into the night,
Up the sand dune a 300 foot high,
I almost didn't trust my sight,
When I saw one twice its size.

Still, I trudged onward, in my pity,
Thinking the whisper on the wind was you,
Though all the things that were pretty,
Were no longer part of my view.

I began to see in black and white
No one would listen to my cries,

Wingless Butterfly

They said I was a 'pillar,
Destined to have wings,
But thanks to the killer,
I'll never be anything.

Wingless Butterflyby *jellybeansEVERYWHERE

This poem is actually honoring a Lady Bug that I might have accidentally killed.
You see it was in my house because it was cold outside and it was all curled up and warm. Then I picked it up. It flew away and I couldn't find it. Then tonight I found it dead and covered in dust. I showed it to my mom and she said it probably just died of old age (and she's probably right) but I can't shake this feeling that if I left it in it's spot it wouldn't have died... so I gave it a goldfish funeral and wrote a poem dedicated to it. This is for you, Lady.

It's also partly inspired by that one time I saw a praying mantis eating a butterfly and just throwing it's wings back onto the ground (it was quite horrifying). I guess from a figurative perspective it could be about having a great future (the growth of wings) before you and dying before you had the chance to realize it.
Basically, any way I put it, it is depressing.

waht what wait a second you picked it up are you serious how do you do that.

Man I wish you were at my school, you could submit your poems to this thing we have called Cavalcade so everyone can read it.

*jellybeansEVERYWHERE Feb 10, 2013

Erm...you mean picking up the lady bug?

Cavalcade? Isn't that like a horse parade? That does sound really cool though. We don't have anything like that at our school, except maybe that one contest I'm entering...
