Poetry: December 2007 Archives

Edited: 12/24/07 based on insightful suggestions.

An idea--
political, religious, or otherwise.

No sense putting faith in it, it’s just a habit.
No sense saying it, you don’t really believe it.
No sense buying it, it’s not worth much.
No sense selling it, no one’s buying.
No sense admitting it, everyone does it.
No sense hiding it, it’s nothing to be ashamed of.
No sense explaining it, we got it the first time.
No sense ignoring it, it won’t go away.
No sense accepting it, you don’t know where it’s been.
No sense killing for it, no one wants it that bad.
No sense exalting it, it’s essentially meaningless.

No sense giving up on it, a Man’s got to do something.
