Everything is Everything
And Nothing is Nothing
But Everything can't be Nothing
And consequently,
Nothing can't be Everything.
And if we did not Exist
We would not be here
And if we are here
Then we must Exist
I do not feel
That thinking makes me real
Quite the opposite
I am, therefore I think
Just because I want to have my needs met
Does not mean
That I need to have my wants met
Though they do tend to face off
And intermingle
Time and time again
Everything I have, I've earned
And everything I've earned,
I can opt to expand
And I do not give all that I've deserved
To the man who claims to deserve it
But does nothing
I have no care to meet his needs
Each day I fight to meet my own
I rely on no man
And I can rightfully expect
No man to rely on me
I carry no leeches on my back
And those leeches
Have no backbone
With which to carry me
Charity is a fickle friend
Who promises the world
And rapes you dry
Until you need it for your own...
Author notes
It's blunt, maybe too blunt
But it says all I need it to say
Please tell me what you think

Hello again, becoming rather familliar around your poems, aren't I...
I was reading this and I was thinking : "this piece woould be brilliant to put in the mag."
The mag I speak of is FREERIDDIM and it's a 100% online kreativity mag, focused mainly on poetry... the main site is here: www.freeriddim.co.za , it's a south african magazine... we been going at for a while, but just started the the online part more recently. To view the latest mag (the first half of the sixth edition) go here: http://issuu.com/riddimmaster/docs/6thedition ...
I'd hate to write a whole marketing gimmick thingie on you piece... so I'll stop there.
On your poem... I figure it goes without saying... it's heavy with truth and best served with a pinch of salt... hehehe... like a lot though.
