I log into my account and what is the first thing that I see?
Some community spotlight, an announcement just for me!
Full of unoriginal, cliche movies and garbage targeting teens
the mindless bile can't stifle my imminent screams

A plethora of quirky little bullshit games aren't worth the trip
the endless, smothering, prostitute ads make me want to flip
And bring a gun to Wal-Mart, to fill them full of lead
dealing with this thoughtless drivel, I think I'd rather be dead

Nothing but a whoring game is the only thing you see
these pitiful piles of virtual gold mean nothing at all to me
just a simple ******** up popularity contest
Blissfully ignorant distraction at its best

And you think your arena entries matter
they really god damn don't, you know?
The gaians seek only to flatter
never wanting to help budding artists grow

And is it the artistic value of a piece to be weighed?
Why no! it is simply a petty game full of mush
all the toil to create an intellectual masterpiece is payed
only to be pushed aside by a shallow love job rush

Hoping to obtain acceptance from their peers
But is there truly one to blame?
They are playing on their own fears
grasping for some semblance of worthless fame

To be a member of a group
coalesce as one blind mob
the lynching begins to loop
and the pulse slows its throb

Your integrity is being strangled
asphyxiation of the mind
free thoughts are all but mangled
no better sheep you'll ever find

*rolls eyes and longs to slap them* It's completely true, ironic, and hilarious! He's merely pointing out the facts of most Gaians as comedics would do about real life.

I kept laughing ^^ I liked it.

I find this quite accurate

Dude, you need to chill a bit. You obviously don't hate it too much or you wouldn't be here, right? Also, good poetry is more than just a good rant with rhyme.

I hate myself as well. I am human. I want the whole human race to die.

You hate humanity? So, you hate yourself and everyone around you. What an awkward life to live. Good luck with it! and life! and um... With that attitude, you'll never have a wife or kids. I wonder how you got to the decision of hating humanity...

[Cottoncandyocbra3]

Thank you for the logical, and HONEST comment. I just hate humanity, and it bleeds into my work. ^.^

The length of the lines is inconsistent - I suggest paying attention to the number of syllables per line. It will help the poem flow better. Your rhyme scheme suddenly switches from AABB to ABAB after the third stanza and some of the rhymes are a bit of a stretch. You get your point across well, although I feel like you got a bit derailed towards the end there. Pretty decent work - keep trying!
