    There was this poem that talked about a guy who seemed happy and joyful, going about his business. Then at the end of the day, he put a bullet through his head. It's a little depressing, but very striking. I can't remember the name of the poem or poet.

      Paul McCartney with Wings did a song of it, but it may have been Simon & Garfunkle did it first. Too lazy to look it up right now, sorry!

    When I was a teenager, I was absolutely obsessed with the band Tool

    There was this poem that I heard, it had something to do with them, I can't remember many of the words, but I remember that hearing the poem there was a clock in the background ticking, and I also remember the structure of the poem

    blah blah blah blah; Stop
    blah blah blah blah; Stop
    blah blah blah blah; Stop
    Denial of one's internal deity....... Stop
    blah blah blah blah; Go

    That's what I have to go off of, if anyone can help me that would be the greatest, thank you

    Hi there, I am looking for a poem, could be a monologue, told to my grandmother by her father when she was small. She can only remember snippets but I'd love to be able to give it to her as a whole piece. It goes a little something like this.....'In a lonely railway station'.... there's a commotion at the end of the platform where a prisoner is held in shackles, a little girl goes up to him and says...'Man, for you I'm sorry and Jesus Christ is sorry too' The rest of it is based pretty much on the fact that the prisoner changed his ways due to that little girl and it always made my grandmother and her sister cry but brings back fond memories for them both. PLEASE HELP! ! !

    I heard part of this poem on a tv episode, but I cannot find it anywhere. The part that I heard is: " And in the night, he searches / And in the day, he searches / And in the morrow, he will search / Yet it will not be found / And he knows that."

    Any help in finding this poem would be greatly appreciated as these 5 lines alone are beautiful, and it is driving me crazy not knowing the rest.

    Thanks!

    Hey everyone,

    I studied this poem almost twenty years ago in college. Although I was never into poetry at the time, it resonated with me. It told the story of a man and a woman sitting quietly together. The setting was years and years ago. Maybe she was knitting or something. They were a couple. Together for a long time. And the male looks at her and notices a mole on her face that he never " noticed" before. The mole was hideous and disgusting to him, so he went and made a poison to give her because he couldn't stand the site of the mole on her.
    I was very young and naive at the time and didn't get what the poem was trying to say about relationships, but now that I'm older i understand. I always tell people about the poem and how it's meaning has changed over the years, and I'd love to show it to them. I ran searches but came up empty handed.
    If this rings a bell, please let me know!
    All the best and thank you in advance! !

    Neal
