Nobody Reads a Poem( About a Home)
The poem sounds pretty, but does it have a meaning? A commentary of a poem read during Mic Night at the local coffee shop.
I.
Nobody reads a poem
about a home.
Nobody cares for a prose
about a rose.
II.
The world is mean
Just an angry scene.
Disorders reign
in this world of pain.
III.
And in this troubled time
Nobody cares for this rhyme.
IV.
They go on
until the crack of dawn.
While they long
for a forgotten song.
V.
Disorder is here
And nothing’s clear.
Just words with a rhyme
But no meaning this time.
VI.
Missing amongst it seems
are its themes.
Pretty words
But for the birds.
VII.
Words don’t matter
In this mindless chatter.
It makes a lot of noise
with little poise.
VIII.
So, pretty word sounds
such emptiness abounds.
