as you can see, I didn’t call you a stupid bitch, so you can stop being so sad about it all. I was just giving you some crit, I didn’t know that simply including the word bitch in my review would immediatly cause you to assume that I was calling you one.
Poetry / I Love Babies!
I know I don’t know you
But let me force my opinions
Down your open throat
Even though we’ve never met
I know what’s best for you
You think your eyes are open
But they’re not
Not to my views anyway
They don’t see
What I want them to see
So I’ll make you want
To rip them from your head
Before we’re through
I’ll make you hate yourself
I don’t care about your opinions
You’re too stupid to make
Your own decisions
I’ve already made them for you
Close your eyes and drive
I’ll steer for you
It’s easier that way
Because you know
Freedom is wrong and
Choice is a sin
Your choice is, anyway

perhaps brokenhand was a bit harsh, but he/she did make a valid point. you do have to tell people what they’re doing right first if you want them to listen. you obviously have some strong views, but you’re doing the same thing in your poem brokenhand did in his/her criticism. you can’t shove it down my throat because i’m not going to listen. you need to give me some concrete images, create a person you are talking to, explain WHY they need to listen through SHOWING ME what is going wrong, putting me in the poem. preaching at me doesn’t do any good. as for being offended, if you’re not here to get better, then why are you here at all?

Could i ask “brokenhand” what he/she means by, “there is a speaker but no listener”. And i’m hearing a lot of criticism but seeing no suggestions nor solutions… exactly what rating were you looking for here?
to me this poem is about expression. anyone who’s had a friend (or foe) treat them this way can understand what is being expressed here. personally, i can relate to the chaotic expression of what can easily be called chaotic emotions.
very well done “neener”.
c’mon, is this supposed to be a poem? First of all there is a speaker but no listener, so that leads me to believe that the reader is the listner, which makes this poem downright preachy and offensive. if that is the feel you are going for, than you should create a listner persona, so the reader of your poem doesnt finish and think, “god what a stupid bitch”. Also you use cliches “let me force it down your throat” “rip your eyes out of your head”
these are overused unoriginal descriptions. Then you use the word freedom which just really irks me cuz it is the hugest abstraction in the book. Can you picture freedom, can you smell it, taste it, no. Only use abstractions if they are supported by concrete, descriptive language, which this one is not.
I love it. It reminds me of how i was a few years ago. Always feeling like my opinions were more worthy….and better. I really like the first 4 lines. When i read the first line i was expecting it to have a different tone, and then i was really surprised to see the ‘forse my opinions down your open throat’. awesome.
