Most people live their life on assumptions
which means they never know what is true,
many people say,I know just how you feel,
but really, they don't have a clue.
When someone says to me,I know what you mean,
they're assuming I don't mean what I say,
and then we lose the concept of the truth
by making these assumptions everyday.
We have the best computer in the world
and yet we only use a tiny bit,
it's called the human brain,and it's unequalled
but still we guess instead of using it.

Gotta agree with you here 100%! Considering I go through all these things, people telling me they know or people suspecting my actions or feelings and of course being totally wrong, it's a shame but people do like complaining about others, when they don't even know half the story.

That was incredibly juvenile in form. I do like the idea you expressed but this was absolute drivel. It’s devoid of all sense of poetry and at first seems to simply be a dissonant series of words juxtaposed pointlessly together. I know what you’re trying to say but for god's sake try it another way. You have an obvious thought here but it’s painful to read. I could have heard this in a bad conversation anywhere.

hey
Thank you for entering this poem.
Sorry I judged this contest so late. I had a million and one things to do.
I’m glad you wrote a more inspiring poem than the most I’ve read. It really makes me think.
Even this poem, I think could have been written even better. It is a little to much preaching to me. I understand if you don’t agree with me on that one, it’s just a feeling I unfortunately get from your poem, especially because of this stanza:
We have the best computer in the world
and yet we only use a tiny bit,
it's called the human brain,and it's unequalled
but still we guess instead of using it.
It is really stainge, I really like this stanza, and on the same time it gives me a slight fealing of dislike or somethin, I can't even describe.
No poem ever did that with me, so congratulations on that one.
Love & Peace.

I really love this, its kind of funny that I found this poem today after having a horrible argument with my husband last night about this issue exactly. People assume alot as you said, however we forget that we can not know what someone else thinks or feels,or what they mean when they say something and its when we start to make the assumptions, that is when all the trouble begins. As for the brain as a computer, it seems to me that because of the computer people dont use their brains much anymore, but then again maybe Im guilty of assumptions
Excellent poem

The brain for computer - a very poor trade
though I really could use a memory upgrade.
You are right, we seem to think less as the years go by. It all seems to be done for us. Perhaps our preoccupation with making money has overshadowed common sense?
A very thought provoking write.

I assume so!
