It's the constant grind of the same nonsense for the last twenty years, and it never fixes anything, just different faces. What a wonderfully written poem. Good luck in the contest! Have a great day, and God bless.

Nicely done. The repetition of "They're wearing us down" adds an almost hypnotic feel to your poem. I could feel the defiance. This has a unique pulse to your poem. I like how you share it in a way that feels a little intense. Great work it's such a well done poem and makes you think!

Wow, what can I say, Mike, you've made my day.

A true free form poem that reminds me a lot of Jack Kerouac's writing. A poetic/ prose that leads the reader on and is a comment on today's society
and all the rant that we hear today.

After reading this, I AM WORN DOWN!!! And I also am worn down by all those wearing me down. Man, I need a vacation in the islands, but I'm still in my chair.
Enjoy your football.

If I could get out of this wheelchair, it wouldn't take me long to say "Good Bye"!

Wow, I didn't know, man, sorry to hear. But you're doing a lot better than most, it would seem to me. Keep on being an inspiration.

One thing I learnt from school and playing sport, (and a few mentors on the way) is not to be swayed by the things or attitudes of other people, they are as prone to mistakes as I am, but yes, they can wear us down, and discourage us, but there's only one direction to take in life...forward, beautifully written, blessings Roy
