What a Revoltin’ Development…

Loving or even liking our neighbors doesn't seem to be the way of the world anymore...(where did this come from, I have no idea?) e





Poem Artwork

Living close,

Lawn separates,

No longer are we friendly,

To our neighbors, times have changed,

This world of ours is anymore gross…

 

Try do we to be a good neighbor,

Not to of this point belabor,

But try we must if life is not to suck,

With regards this problem we are all stuck…

 

Love thy neighbor, God does say,

Some of us feel there will never be a way,

To them in time of need do we our respects pay,

If my love, my lady, my most beautiful Rene,

Was my neighbor, then more love I could to her display…

When the your neighbor not only go bragging about buying a new car but one bigger than yours...neighborly love goes out the freaking window!

Such an apt, timely, and meaningful write, Ed. This is the same theme that I have expressed in my poem posted here at AD entitled, "No One Touches You." Check it out and see if you agree. You have reminded me once again to be thankful that I do not have to reside in a subdivision. Thank you. Love and peace,

Regis

If it any consolation, NOT having a "privacy" fence is pretty rare, at least around here. The worst part is ya' can't moon em' any more. Patrick

As the drums of war still beat and paranoia suffocates the laws of neighborly places to live...we tend to barricade our property and our hearts in fences impenitrable to all but the closest of friends and family...sad.

Alas, the world seems to be growing crueler and colder, every day now, brother. Probably why I like animal neighbors much better than human ones - they rarely complain about anything, and they are never as nasty as we are.

Middle Class Outing v2 by RickthePoetWarrior

It's about how middling we are and middle means middle only like a big middle and class isn't school and outing's not a trip.

Extraterrorestrial Beings v4 by RickthePoetWarrior

Our heroes are revealed for all they are, the final flash of a dying star, for with this pen I do they mar, with hopes I leave ‘em all a scar.
