I Will Not Save the World Comments

A thoughtfully envisioned song of life depicting it's darker side. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful free form structure, you can read the fatigue sweating from his mouth, the tiredness of a prolonged life, who needs the world on their back anyway.

A different idea about life it seems and likes the poem

Funny or ironic how life changes and sometimes not the way we like it. I like the lines 'I have never known fatigue but know it now. I whistle & the dog sits still & ponders. '

The taste of death is in my mouth! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
