A piece of paper.

[Malcolm Tucker]

I saw this black piece of paper
And it looked
Kind of lonely,
Like it needed someone
To talk to.

So I started to talk.
I told it about
School and trivial things,
And my need
For someone to talk to,

And in return
It told me about trees
And Autumn
And hwere it had come from.

The paper looked sad
When it told me about the
Wind in the trees
And the coming of man
Who had felled the tree,
And I felt ashamed.

Then I got angry.
I had problems enough
Without
Guilt.

I tore up the paper.
I tore up myself.

For those who, when reading, start ranting on about environment etc. etc. please leave :) lol It's about emotions

That's a good poem. I like it. If all someone can get out of it is a rant about the environment, that's sad.

I really like that poem. It is really effective because it takes you through so many emotions when you read it. I actually laughed out loud when she said she tore it up because "I have enough problems". Its such a typically selfish human thing to say. But then I felt really sad and kind of hopeless when I read the last line.

Its a really honest poem about humanity, I like it :-)
Thanks for posting it.
