    This, however, proves how decent you are Paul. Yes, sharing even the dirty food with others is a matter of decency. I thoroughly loved your poem and wish it not ending. Always brilliant man.

    Your life poems take my breathe away... Your strength and personality shines through and I always am enlighten and deeply inspired when I read a poem by you. This poem really blew me away....

    "I would rather continue living like a mad
    man who has the decency to share his dirty
    food with you as you pass by, yes, I would
    rather be like a mad man

    unaware of my surrounding but doing something
    about it"................................. I would rather be a mad woman as well....

    powerful piece!

    I dont usually go for life poems, but this one I love. I love the strenght that is it shows along with the perfect images you seemed to perfectly pen into.

    I am amazed by how you wrote this piece but there has to be a favorite verse for me..

    "Our own environment has been
    camouflaged from our eyes
    because our hearts know not to
    love but succeed as individuals"
    ^^
    This little verse has got to be one of the best things I read lately. Its so true, you captured it correctly ..

    Keep up the talent bro :)

    You are very right. The world around us has become ever more selfish and unfriendly.
    People only take and stopped giving, guess we have capitalism to thank for that.

    Great poem!

    This speaks deeply about mans inhumanity to mankind. We now live in a realm where our leaders are selfish and embezzle all meant for the masses to their pocket. They siphone contracts and budgets meant to grow and improve the societies needs of basic social amenities and other necceties for community development. How can such be condoned and accepted but what can an ordinary individual do than leave all to The Knower.

    However, all shoulldn't be left to leaders and those in the corridors of power. Ordinary average people and those capable of doing whatsoever in their little way shouldn't relent. Anything worth doing to help one another sholud be done for the love of humanitarian service, peaceful co-existance and good sportsmanship.

    A word of encouragement, a smile of hope, a pat of comfort, togetherness for support, any gesture that may seem nothing will absolutely go a long way in helping one. Lovely incorporation of a 'mad mans' analogy to describe your message.
    Keep them coming.
    Beautiful! :-)).
