I have no imagination No independent thought Only what they feed me Like a monkey in the zoo
Sitting in my cage working Doing what they tell me Doesn't really matter As long as they pay me
Sitting in front of the tv Watching the commercials I could be so happy I'll buy it when I can
I'm just a monkey Doing what they tell me Happy with my peanuts Is that what life's about?
This is my first sucessful (as in a complete work) poetry in a long time. I wanted to write something moving the other day, but instead I wrote this.

Darn it. As I said, it was an attempt. Writing used to be my passion, but I fell out of practice. I was better with stories anyway, but poems can be fun too.

Maybe you should re-word the thread title to encourage people to post their own poetry. If there's one thing I've learned about message boards, it's that people love talking about themselves.
