My name is Nobody
By dirtyhalo
21 April 2007
Hi again, my last piece of work didn't go down too well so i hope you all get something more from this.

My name is Nobody
I married Hind sight
We live in Theory
all because,

Nobody is perfect
Hind sight is wonderful
and everything works in theory
if only !!!

Life equals reality
reality equals us
can we tell the difference
do we really care?

If we can live in theory
with wonderful hind sight
being perfect
could we go on being us?

Where do we draw the line?
When do we  crash back down to earth?
How do we stop pretending?
Why would we want to?

Is it self preservation
or something completely different?
Do we fail the children or ourselves?
To the point, do we care?

If six were two 
For me it would do, 
Lose the last four 
And then it won't bore, 
You have posted it twice 
But it's not twice as nice!

I thought verses 1,2 & 4 3 worked well as a piece and had something to say. As for the rest I'm not a big fan of rhetorical questions in poetry. 
cheers
