The world.

I look, I see, I think, I am
My eyes see false, my brain like ram
processes thoughts, of what I know
I know nothing, but what they show

Heart like a stone, not worth a gem
until the life, it enters in
But this i just cannot accept
My mind, My life, I want respect

I cast a shadow in the street
I am nothing you cannot meet
There is nothing you cannot see
I am the world, came dance with me

I give no love, does not compute
I live in time, do not dispute
There is no grace, no not for free
I only seek catastrophe

Am I obsessed?
I surely am
With lusts and lies
I'm not your friend

I am the world
I don't speak truth
I crush all love
I speak uncouth

So filled with pride
With much to spare
The devils own
Life cannot bare

My time is short
Come join the ride
Straight down to hell
The wicked slide

Author notes

I write poetry to express the truth.
To me, this is how the world speaks, what it represents.
I believe I have fulfilled several of the criteria for the contest.
Goodluck to everyone who has entered.
I say to all, seek the fruits of heaven, so that earth may be filled with its glory, and all might sing the greater song.

    Oh I do love the imagery in this and the 'voice' of the world you used here.
    Very deep and thought provoking. Yes the world certainly does represent all you have penned at this moment in time.
    All the best to you in this contest

    Wow.

    How many books have you published? A million? That's what I thought. Amazing poem. Your talent as a poet is very prominent in this piece.

    Let the truth out

    Truth is in what one believes to be true, like if you believe people live on the moon, then that is your truth. Yes the world is clouded by lies, media of all kinds lie to us to sell a product, governments lie so we vote for them. If the world only spoke truth, nobody could hide behind a mask. Your poem is well written and full of emotions that makes one think. Thought provoking indeed and thanks for the comment.
