Children of the arts listen to my voice. Throw down your shackles, stand up and rejoice.
Abandon all hope for that which you've striven striven and come back down to this world that we live in.
Your words will run; your aesthetics fade to dust seen as a desire not a need or a must.
Your deaths will come and come fast they will. But there's a chance at immortality still
For men never die but fade away as time passes. Their memories and souls living on through the masses.
Still our true demons lie not within but without. We may not see them but they exist no doubt.
Thus your arts be deception: the bread of the forsaken. Fight them with art and they're all but shaken.
Do not believe only one way to fight. Instead look to the shadow of night...

I felt like addressing an issue that I'm sure most people won't see. It's a poem discussing the futility of writing poems. I'm waiting to see if someone will see the point I was getting at.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.That's a well-written poem, but I do not think that poetry is futile. In fact, I believe that poetry is the true fruit of both intellect and spirit. Only those with high levels of intelligence and passion can write or appreciate poetry. ^__^ I've been reading and writing poetry since I was very young and have joined in many poetry groups and participated in many meetings and conventions; they have all changed my life in some way. Half of the power of poetry is your receptiveness towards the poet's message or emotions; once the beauty of poetry is accepted and it tattoos itself on your heart, it is no longer futile.

Edit: Sorry, I just wanted to edit my post and say that I hope you don't think I'm picking on you or anything. I'm reading some of your stuff right now and it is beautiful, and I don't ever want you to think that it's futile or that no one cares; I've seen too many people give up on their work, thinking that it's worthless. Emily Dickinson herself did not want her work published because she thought it was crap - it's common among poets to be self-conscious for some reason. xD But don't let little insecurities get in the way of your craft, because it is a craft! I'm sorry if I definitely over-analyzed (or completely misinterpreted) your post; I just got worried for a second there because I've seen it before.

It's not so much that I think it's futile as it is addressing the hypocritical nature of humans. That I use poetry to state the futility of poetry is just like someone who rejects you time after time after countless tries and then comes to complain about being rejected time after time after countless tries with some other person. It hurts, but it is something to laugh at. It was more that which was the inspiration for this piece razz
