just you wait you two [member=6]fangs[/member] [member=28]crows[/member]
[spoiler=ignore the religious parts bc i copied n pasted this]This poem is very long
So long, in fact, that your attention span
May be stretched to its very limits
But that’s okay
It’s what’s so special about poetry
See, poetry takes time We live in a time
Call it our culture or society
It doesn’t matter to me cause neither one
rhymes
A time where most people don’t want to
listen Our throats wait like matchsticks waiting to
catch fire
Waiting until we can speak
No patience to listen But this poem is long
It’s so long, in fact, that during the time of
this poem
You could’ve done any number of other
wonderful things
You could’ve called your father Call your father
You could be writing a postcard right now
Write a postcard
When was the last time you wrote a
postcard?
You could be outside You’re probably not too far away from a
sunrise or a sunset
Watch the sun rise
Maybe you could’ve written your own poem
A better poem
You could have played a tune or sung a song
You could have met your neighbor
And memorized their name
Memorize the name of your neighbor
You could’ve drawn a picture
(Or, at least, colored one in) You could’ve started a book
Or finished a prayer
You could’ve talked to God
Pray
When was the last time you prayed?
Really prayed? This is a long poem
So long, in fact, that you’ve already spent
a minute with it
When was the last time you hugged a friend
for a minute?
Or told them that you love them? Tell your friends you love them …no, I mean it, tell them Say, I love you Say, you make life worth living
Because that, is what friends do
Of all of the wonderful things that you
could’ve done
During this very, very long poem
You could have connected Maybe you are connecting
Maybe we’re connecting
See, I believe that the only things that
really matter
In the grand scheme of life are God and
people And if people are made in the image of God
Then when you spend your time with
people
It’s never wasted
And in this very long poem
I’m trying to let a poem do what a poem does:
Make things simpler
We don’t need poems to make things more
complicated
We have each other for that
We need poems to remind ourselves of the things that really matter
To take time
A long time
To be alive for the sake of someone else for
a single moment
Or for many moments Cause we need each other To hold the hands of a broken person
All you have to do is meet a person
Shake their hand
Look in their eyes They are you We are all broken together
But these shattered pieces of our existence
don’t have to be a mess
We just have to care enough to hold our
tongues sometimes
To sit and listen to a very long poem A story of a life
The joy of a friend and the grief of friend
To hold and be held
And be quiet So, pray
Write a postcard
Call your parents and forgive them and
then thank them
Turn off the TV
Create art as best as you can Share as much as possible, especially
money
Tell someone about a very long poem you
once heard
And how afterward it brought you to them
