I am not sure if I have posted this poem on my blog yet but I think not. I wrote it a while ago. My parents didn't like it.  For some odd reason, they didn't understand it. I think it is pretty simple to understand. Please DO NOT comment and say you don't understand it. And no, it is not in the future or on a different planet.
Anyway here it is:


City

It is midnight

Yet not what it is meant to be

Even as I close my eyes

So tightly

Light penetrates them

It is winter

But not the winter that it was before

Not cold

Not cold at all

Warm like a summer day

I am separated from the earth

By a barrier created by humanity

I experience

A different life than my ancestors

A life without pain

A life without truth

Is this how it should be?

I sometimes wonder

Or is what I am living

Not life at all

    I understand it! Well, I don't really have much of the "poetic" mind, so yeah. Is it like, they are dreaming or something when they close their eyes? Like, daydreaming? Sorry if I'm wrong :(

    so it is basically like humans are disconnected from the earth and have a different life then other animals on earth and their ancestors because humans live in houses and don't really go outside and stuff. The thing where they close their eyes and still see light in the night is because of the city lights.
