WHEN LIFE IS......

When expectations and hopes are but a bitter memory

When yet one more doer shuts behind ,

Another slams in the teeth

Clung to the edge of the crumbling cliff of life

Dropped in to stormy sea's swept upon the sharp hard rocks ,

A long comes some one to stamp on whitened fingers

Found the ladder , dripping with oil and grease , no way up

Kept for ever down

So whats the bloody point?

The point is to be bloody minded

Don't let the buggers get your down

Defy them all , stuff 'em , carry on just

The same , spite them all who wona keep

You down , stuff 'em , who , what ever they are!!!

ah this is a bit more invigorated :D not that the first version wasn't good... i like this poem's two versions... the first part though not uplifted and hopeful, it is a part of us and sometimes it needs to be voiced when we feel that way... but the addition is a really nice positive reminder that we are the master, so to speak... the alteration makes this poem an inspirational note that comes through with a no-nonsense let's-get-to-business type of energy... really good :) *hugs* xx

I guess the point is the survival instinct built in the human system.... the will to live and the hope that brighter days will come..... Faith is one of the strongest powers there is.....
and of course, the ability to write about it. Excellent writing here, Ken. *applaud*
