Its a very raw read ;0)

I must admit, I had to read through this more than several times to fully grasp the entire meaning. It's very true, I especially liked the line:"Responsibility is conveniently shifted aside" and it's surroundings. We all push our responsibility aside and suffer the consequences. Please take hope in humanity though, we can still do lots more worth doing than that which can hurt ourselves, and there are still those out there who do it for the love of humanity.

All too true, the systematic haterd of society is what I fear the most. It keeps me awake at night and this describes how I feel so well. I too hope for the good in man and maybe it dwells in the quiet connections we have with each other. To be free of our predefined concepts, to abandon the words others have taught us and to enjoy the butterflies is our greatest task.

Whoa..... so true, so very true is so many ways. You expressed, what I have been struggling to put into words. Bravo!

I like the way it leads to the real heart of words-the heart. It's true, from the overflow of the heart come the words. The poem gathers substance as it comes to the end, or rather climax, and leaves a stong, emotive note that is more disturbing than satisfying. I really like the last three verses. I was trying to relate to the regret. Is it for words too hastily spoken, or emotions unresolved, or baggage unable to be unloaded? And what would our responsibility here be that is often 'conveniently shifted aside'? It's a hard thing to face, let alone process? I wonder, is the noise of changing times just an excuse to escape our problems?
