Opinionated points of view are they false or are they true

Opinionated points of view are they false or are they true

Life seems to resemble many layers and amongst these layers you’ll find the players

An assassin shot through were the roof should have been and yet still managed not to be seen

Consumerism at the heart of what’s important, that’s the problem with the world before us

Fetch me some parchment and a quill, allow me to create an old fashioned thrill

They call the X factor entertainment that makes me want to slam my head to the pavement

People really ought to wake up, you’re just giving Cowell many more bucks

Altering my state of consciousness, for me has always been a must

What’s the difference between a sheep being sheared and a man shaving his beard?

From the root upwards we do use, to build our homes and for our food

Life up in the canopy is beyond anything you’ll ever see

When I attended public school I didn’t realise I was under government control

Romeo died because he thought Juliet was dead if only he had waited a little longer instead!

Destroyed rain forests create piles of wood but are there enough reasons for why we should?

It doesn’t matter who you vote in the government will always win

Work here for 40 years in a row and then into the coffin you will go

By fulfilling your destiny you are creating your legacy

All the clouds seem to merge into one, it won't be long now until the storm will come

When he shot JFK the American dream was made to pay

Looking forward to the great gig in the sky, for then I truly will have arrived

Shine a torch towards the stars sooner or later we’ll walk on Mars

Let’s not all pretend that we have any idea how this will all end.

This is VERY cool DUNCAN!!......I love the way you scatter the write...... using some compelling phrasing...... and then some questionable jabs..... and then contradict yourself intentionally...... so that your ending gets the slam dunk it deserves.... because the truth is ......we're ALL still grappling with....."

Wow. I have loads of appreciation for what you have written T. Thank you very much for the wonderful reply! I'm very pleased that you understood the piece for what it is and enjoyed it. I love the ''slam dunk'' part of your comment as well.

I wrote this all while taking a long bus ride through New Zealand's magnificent landscapes about 5 years ago, looking out of the window and writing down whatever came into my mind. D.

Cool I especially loved the Romeo line. As im sure many of us felt the same. One of my favorite love,tragedy stories and that was the winner. All in all the thoughts in general in your poem are realistic and true. I like it. Thanks.

Thank you Leandro! I am really happy that you liked the poem, Romeo & Juliet was always my favourite Shakespeare play and I wanted to use a quotation from the play but instead I ended up writing the line that you like instead. Thanks for reading!
