-------------------------------------------------
Last night I dreamt Last night I dreamt Of mountain trees that ail The needle rusted red For beetle bark has ate For global warming so Causing the trees to dry Rising in altitude though There’s little room beyond So pine beetles devour Create their home in trees While slicing lives for hour Thus only stumps appear Foreshadow mountain after years All trees are gone and hill side bare |

LIFE IS GOOD
LIFE IS GOOD…

Life is good and God is life
Start where you are; live your life
Give birth to yourself; don’t wait for a mid-wife
I know that everybody dies; we know that not everybody lives
Can’t be done thinking thanks; still holding to the green leaves
I haven’t made it yet; still have hopes to make it in future
Nobody knows tomorrow; the things to happen, we only hope to picture
What they take for granted today seemed impossible yesterday, to structure
I want to be used for a greater purpose; far way bigger than myself
Life is good; I want it to be better for I, Me and Myself.

I wrote a letter to time, asking him for more time
The things I hope to accomplish in future is enormous; I need more than time
Checks and balances; everything being equal, my life is balanced
Heard equality is unattainable; many still feed on diets that are not balanced
Could it be that life is not fair to some people? Is it then dark?
So far there is life, there is hope;

    Who says that life is fair to all? The real world turns out to be just the complete opposite. A person may believe their life is harder than someone else’s, but one must attempt to keep moving forward. As we grow older we all experience instances of unfair injustice. However, it’s how we respond to these circumstances that determines whether or not we’ll be successful in life. You’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but a lot can be conveyed based off of one’s appearance.…

    I have to agree that Shakespeare’s Macbeth much about the human, nature experiences because it deals with many of the dark depths of humanity. What it conveys about humanity and the human experience is betrayal, cruelty, jealous, power, murder, revenge, and we must be careful about becoming to ambitious. We also have to be careful allowing others to influence us to do something that we know is morally wrong. This play is mostly showing ambition and calling the play a tragedy, Macbeth’s ambition is that of negative outcome murdering people and sending them to slaughter due to his own fears.…

    “Yet I seek not a fellow feeling in my misery. No sympathy may I ever find. When I first sought it, it was the love of virtue, the feelings of happiness and affection with which my whole being overflowed, that I wished to be participated. But now that virtue has become to me a shadow, and that happiness and affection are turned into bitter and loathing despair, in what should I seek for sympathy? I am content to suffer alone while my sufferings shall endure; when I die, I am well satisfied that abhorrence and opprobrium should load my memory. Once my fancy was soothed with dreams of virtue, of fame, and of enjoyment. Once I falsely hoped to meet with beings who, pardoning my outward form, would love me for the excellent qualities which I was capable of unfolding. I was nourished with high thoughts of honour and devotion. But now crime has degraded me beneath the meanest animal. No guilt, no mischief, no malignity, no misery, can be found comparable to mine. When I run over the frightful catalogue of my sins, I cannot believe that I am the same creature whose thoughts were once filled with sublime and transcendent visions of the beauty and the majesty of goodness. But it is even so; the fallen angel becomes a malignant devil. Yet even that enemy of God and man had friends and associates in his desolation; I am alone.”…

    The Spirit of the Age

    • 10971 Words
    • 44 Pages

    Within this anthology is a selection of poetry from a range of historical periods, geographical locations, cultural origins and artistic movements. The poets and poems that have been chosen provide readers with an insight into their worlds and experiences, and the ‘spirit of the age’ in which they lived. Poets speak as individuals about intensely personal reflections, but can also represent the views of the social groups to which they identify and belong. The language within a poem will reveal more to the reader when we explore the influences on the poet. These influences can include the cultural, intellectual, ethical, spiritual, and/or political climate within a nation or groups, along with the general ambience and socio-cultural mood of an era. Each poet offers a unique voice that also reveals something of the general social experience of their specific time and place.…
