Poem

[matthewsquires]

I'm not used to writing poetry, but this is my feeble attempt at a poem dealing with what I've read into discordianism.

We are all playing a game to keep things interesting.
Just like when you used to pretend the asphalt was lava.

"Hey let's pretend this piece of paper is worth something and compete for it"

Here are the games you can choose to play.  The one where she was trying to get close to you but you blew her off.  The one where you're both not trying hard enough to come together.  The one where you try to get close to here but she doesn't know how to open up to you.  The one where she wants you to say the right thing but you don't know which thing to say.  The one where you're crazy.  The one where you'll be a successful musician.  The one where you'll get a career or job eventually but you might as well enjoy yourself while you're young.  The one where you're disappointing everyone you meet.  The one where you're the star of the room.  The one where death could grab you at any time.  The one where one of these things makes you happy or sad.  The one where it doesn't effect you either way.

The one where you're analyzing all the games you can play

Choose your game wisely.

Alot of poetry is about the structure you present your words in. Notice the difference:

Here are the games you can choose to play.
The one where she was trying to get close to you but you blew her off.

The one where you're both not trying hard enough to come together.

The one where you try to get close to here but she doesn't know how to open up to you.
The one where she wants you to say the right thing but you don't know which thing to say.

The one where you're crazy.  The one where you'll be a successful musician.

The one where you'll get a career or job eventually but you might as well enjoy yourself while you're young.
The one where you're disappointing everyone you meet.

The one where you're the star of the room.

The one where death could grab you at any time.
The one where one of these things makes you happy or sad.

The one where it doesn't effect you either way.

The one where you're analyzing all the games you can play.
Choose your game wisely.
