What Some People Say – By Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on May 8, 2009

Some people say the world has gone to pot.
I’m not sure I entirely agree,
But I’m not going to say anything either.
I’m just going to sit here and live me
fantasies and let the world go by.
Life and death are nothing.
I will live equally whatever happens.
The nation is gone, and others also.
But I know that in places things are different.
I have visited those happy realms.
I have felt the euphoria of utopia.
I know.
I feel.
I sense.
I understand.
I am.

Some people say the world has gone to pot.
I’m not crazy, I try not to be.
But some things must be said.
Some things must change a lot.
I imagine we are too far gone.
Despite my acts, even though I get involved
Are we really going to save life at all?
Is hope entirely gone, or can we still
Save those elsewhere who were lost long ago?
I try to see the dissapointed place.
I feel the loss of distopia.
I’m unsure.
I’m numb.
I’m cold.
I’m lost.
I’m not.

Some people say the world has gone to pot.
They are right.  Or not.

Being Heard – A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on February 27, 2009

I do not hurt enough to write poetry,
Nor do I love enough to try.
I have not the happiness of soul.
But there is a need.  LISTEN
to my little voice.  I will be
HEARD.  The violence is not
strong enough, the passion was not
long enough.  If I can raise my
voice LOUD enough, none of the
rest will really matter because by
then you will KNOW who
I am.  My desire will be
satisfied and people will
CALL me a poet.
