Morality, The Jumper

by Indian Comma Bean   Apr 5, 2008


Passing by, passing by,
Time's to short to laugh or cry.
Oblivious to truth or lies,
Life's a race, why stop to die.

Pick up the suit; Freshly cleaned,
Spiff up the Rolex; Another money fiend.
Hop in the Lexus, put on the shades,
Going so fast as compassion fades.

Yell in the phone for half of the day,
Screaming and cussing to have your way.
A creeping grin as you feed the addiction,
Unaware of the mental affliction.

Months in, Months out,
Slowly becoming less and less devout.
Stealing and scamming your hearts desire,
As the emotions you had, now set to fire.

Passing by, stopping; Why?
Time has stopped to say goodbye,
Oblivious to the clouds, up in the sky,
Why jump now when you've already died.

    The similarity between the first and the last stanza is really effective. I like the message that you portrayed here and the topic that you wrote about. Whole poem is very descriptive and detailed, the imagery and the atmosphere that yo created are very good. I personally don't like rhymes through this poem, they seem basic and non-original. You created great flow with this rhyming scheme but the the rhymes seem forced.
    All in all, this is truly enjoyable read.
