Count Me Out Today Poem by Joan Marques

Count Me Out Today



Today I don't want to be part
Of anything out there
Count me out today

Let the world
Turn without me
Let the birds sing
And the trees grow
And the people live
But not with me

Count me out today
Let the sun shine
On the roofs and the streets
Let the mountains stay proud
Let beauty stay beautiful
And ugly stay pitiful
But count me out today
I don't want to be part of it
No way

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Rajaram Ramachandran 06 May 2007

A positve outlook presented in a negative way. One poet sang that if there is no food for an individual in this world, we will destroy the whole world. So, even an individual or for that matter even an atom is counted as one forming part of this world. A little dropp of water makes the mighty ocean and a particle of sand makes this land.
