Nafees' national poetry writing month thread

Hi all,

I am new to this site and have decided to enter the napowrimo challenge.

I hope to meet some great writers and i'd love your feedback.

I'm 2 days behind so i've put up to poems for today...

Dollars, Pound, Francs, Dinars

The Dollars, Pounds, Francs and Dinars
Did not create the Sun nor the moon nor the stars
The Dollars, Pounds, Francs and Dinars
Did not create this world in which we are
The Dollars, Pounds, Francs and Dinars
For them, the entire world you can search it
You can have all the money in the world
But one day you will see
Not a penny of it was worth it.


Poem for today

The dietician says, "Eat 5 portions of fruit a day"
The doctor says, "Drink 8 glasses of water a day"
The lecturer says "Read 1 chapter of Rawls' A Theory of Justice a Day""
Now i've said i'll write a poem a day!
But when is this "day" that i've been talking about
going to come?
Going to come?
Give up to get?
Give to receive?
Forget to remember?
Remember what?
That is what everybody wants to know...
But some say they know to want but just can’t get.

I keep saying this “day” will come tomorrow...
...
And yet more ellipsis...

But tomorrow has been over lapping me for five years now
Each morning she offers me the baton to take on
But I'm fast asleep, slowly awakening, dreaming i'm ready to change the world
But the world changes me from anger to sorrow, fear then hope.
Change or be changed?
But there ain't no change left, hardly even any notes, because they wanna
turn all tender to hard plastic cards
They call it a card of credit
But it only gives debt
What was that earlier line I wrote...?
I'm not dyslexic
But i'm sure it was "Remember to forget",
Right?[pre]
