Thought

Sometimes,
I stop amidst all the beauty
and wonder of this world,
and I think to myself:
people are terrible.

This actually made me smile because it reminded me of one of my favorite cartoon strips! It was Peanuts. Lucy, in her psychiatrist for 5 cents was stating: "I don't have a problem with humanity... It is people I hate!" Thank you for submitting to my contest!

I think everyone can relate to this poem in this day and age. People are terrible and it's quite a sad thing. There's just so much more people could achieve as a unit but we insist on divisions.. Very thought Provoking, relatable. I love the short and sweet style :)

[Gaia Octavia]

well Gaia...I believe on more than one occassion you have been inside my head!! The amount of times I have thought this..seems you have too....when i have been somewhere particularly lovely and though how long till humans destroy it either by building on it, mindless findalism or those that decide to build a bonfire and leave charred ground and alchohol bottles everywhere. well done one this, summed up in so few woeds.

L'enfer c'est les autres.

Yes it sometimes is discouraging how we humans manifest ourselves to each other.

Less is more, well done.

[Gaia Octavia]

Indeed it is. Thank you kindly ☺

Life is a beautiful picture which people painted their ugliness on. Thank you for sharing this lovely piece.

This poem is adorable! You did a great job of setting a romantic scene before taking the needle off the record, I laughed out loud when I read this.

Someone wrote: ' The world would be beautiful except for the people who walk upon it?'

They/we abuse each other, they abuse the planet. One day a great black hole will swallow us whole!

Your words are brief and bleak but so very true.

Well, the world WAS a paradise before man got here so....yeah, I agree.
