Good Person

[ZacharyTwedell]

Good Person
I give to charity,
so that others
might live happily,
so that mothers
can feed their kids

I care for my family
I am considerate
I want them to be happy
I am not burdened
by my deeds
I do them with love,
I provide for their needs
and make sure they have enough

Why do bad things happen to me?
I'm such a good person, can't you see?
Please don't hurt them

I give to charity. 
I tend to broken hearts.
I live happily. 
I am smart. 

I tell my secrets to the right people,
those that need my help,
I don't gossip,
I'm selectively truthful. 
Good people are kind. 
We lie when lies get us by. 
Good people are considerate 
(killers)
Consider it
(killers)
considerate

Good people love people (just one pill)
Good people let others win
(Sin no sin)
Good people don't ask questions
(Answers indefinite) 
Good people know only good 
(Get out while you could)
Join us, I'm such a good person join us I'm such a good person joy

I'm so innocent,
I'll never lie. 
Always smile when you say goodbye.
But you'll never leave
Never leave

We're such good people. 

Ask again?
When?
Tomorrow? 

"It would seem that he has indeed risen from his grave, after three days I'm told, apparently to save them, quite bold.

"Why do bad things happen to me?
I'm Such a goOd persON.  

---------------------------

I wrote this poem to try and illustrate how the good intentions of people are corrupted by forces that they are not aware of. It is a difficult thing to show because even the most disturbing things in the poem seem very innocent, but they most certainly are not. The idea behind the poem is the most important for me, I'm not so bothered by technical aspects, but I am aware of the fact that they are important. Any advice or critique would be appreciated.

Well, I'll start by presenting that my knowledge of poetry is minuscule. I don't know much about the works of formating poetry and how that gets based. On a literally standpoint, I enjoyed the character's characteristics. The man that truly wants to just be positive and generous. Then is conflicted, because the world around him is a let down. I don't know if there's a different context you could use, to express when he has his, "moments". The way it was done I found perplexed, even though I knew what it was. But again I'm new to the poetry world, so not a lot of basis to go on as of yet. I didn't want to stop reading, so I was engulfed to the end. Wondering if he was going to lash at someone. Good Job.
