Stamped. Poem by Christopher Holmberg
Stamped.
Why do we have a thing labeled age?
A number increased when we seemingly change.
The simple statistic runs our lifes more than most know,
Because most abide, like a law they follow.
I have great sorrow for those of today and tomorow...
Is it not how old you feel?
Rather than the number your dealed-
to distract you and keep you in line.
For how many times has a number made you cry, or decide?
Rise above what has been created to ground your time.
Always have mind over sum and you'll never die,
but survive and outlast the ones who stay confined,
with there closed fragile minds.
A number is just a nickname.
Don't let it contaminate!
Rather deteriate, like a plague.
Into nothing but zero.
because you are your own hero!
So follow your heart,
right from the start,
and it will never stop.
I promise.
Time keeps ticking on.

An interesting poem. Some good phrases here, and it (i think) supports my theory that age is just a number - it means nothing! Anyway, not a bad message about a modern idea/issue.
great thoughts....good phrases to ponder at the end of the poem...well written cogitation....
I dillgently read your comment ronald. but would you not say in poetry we do not have to follow the rules. perhaps venture outside of the box and portray a message in a different and new way? i consider my writes modern poetry . a philosophical approach to modern times. free verse freedom of speach and words. i choose to bend the rules and create my own laws. once again your comment has been absorbed and appreciated. ty
you are your own hero! So follow your heart, right from the start, --- as the years of stay decreases the number of pains and heart breaks increases. It stamped the stages of mankind to this world.........nice interesting poem!

I would love you to reedit this. The lines aren't very strong. You are gonna need stanzas or a better format and there are typos. This poems has lines that seems put in there cause you found it rhymed.
