Life Simply Explained.



The weight of the opressor I leave on my dresser.
Because to use it would mean the end to our brain dead schemes.
All for the individual it would mean no teams.
We would become a society of free breaking at the seems.
I think we need to accept what we are, A pollutant race thats cold and dark.
More of a predator than the great white shark.
Because we kill for sport, allow me to retort of the misjustice from the womb we have been taught.
An unatural race which mother nature will erase.
Cut us down the middle like a knife through a shoe lace.

Human race full of blood, flesh, skin and emotion.
Thats forgotten that we evolved from the ocean.
No special potion has made us what we are.
Just a big bang that was created by one insignificant spark in the dark.

d-ory@hotmail.comIf I try to describe myself I can't cause I don't really know. I think I'm a bunch of different personalities in one body. I' am dark and a little depressed behind closed doors. But towards my friends I' am confident and happy. I struggle for acceptance from people but I do a great job of hiding it.Poetry is my release. Without it I could'nt function. But I think I was always meant to have it. I had never written a poem until I was 22 years old. I did'nt even know I could write a poem until someone special inspired me then shattered my heart. I believe this is why I write mostly dark, depressive poems. Because that's how it all started for me.My tag is weight of the world. Reason being I believe the weight of the world is on the shoulders of a few. And most of us are just standing around consuming and polluting waiting for others to clean up after us. I reflect some of this in my poetry.I live in Hobart, Australia and I' am 24 years old. Thanks for reading. Leave comments, your thoughts and I will return the favour.P.S There are certain words spelt differently in Australia so please keep this in mind when reviewing my poetry. And I 'am on facebook under rosco daw. E-mail at top of page.... more…
