A Poem of Sorts

[manker]

Holy hell you say.

Are you a satanist as well as an accountant. I can accept the satanist thing, chap here already is one, but an accountant ....

If only the profession got as much respect as the religeon.

They were on an even keel until those feckers from the Navy stuck their oar in

[manker]

Exactly, even the Navy hates accountants.

Too true, bunch of Radio Luxembourg bastards think they are a fiscal law unto themselves.

Walking Contradiction (as Green Day put it)

I like cleaniness, but I hate cleaning,
I like winning, but I hate seeing people lose,
I like peace, but I hate silence,
I like order, but I hate routine,
I like choice, but I hate decisions,
I like to get to know people, but I hate conversation,
I like help, but I hate being open,
I like solitude, but I hate lonliness,
I like company, but I hate people,
I love life, but I hate living.


this is a collection of my thoughts and emotions over the last couple of weeks, i'm just a bit stressed and need to sort my head out

does this work as a poem? i tried to make each line progressively darker, did that come through?

I like it. I'm wondering if using a full-stop at the end instead of a comma would be more effective. I'm not just being picky, I just think it would make each couplet stand out more as a statement.

I love life, but I hate living.

The jury is out on that one.

Good poem though.

Edit: This board really sucks for placing smilies by the way...

i used commas because i thought it was all really just one big juxtaposition, not a series, but a full stop would be grammatically correct, and you're the english student so i guess you're right

and indeed placing smilies is a pain in the arse
