What does this mean to you?

Sweet child in time you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between the good and bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying taking toll
If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have
And you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes and bow your head
And wait for the ricochet


I'd like to hear what you think about those lines. I'll post my thoughts too after a while.

hmm it seems like the line is the sign of yin and yang... the other parts seems like s/he watched people screwed someone more than enough times for one to right about ricochet, death, masses of corpses... more of a depressed dude that has been oppressed by his peers for far too long, taking his revenge on society as a whole, believing that doing so will make him superior in the world, assuming the role of God and the role of Death himself, killing blindedly... for oppression and depression does that to one's mind, for i only know this too well...

True erester, it makes one think about where we live in society and how it has SCREWED ME OVER more than once

When you are told something for years, you learn to accept it. But, after the truth is revealed, you feel conufusion, isolation, and depression. Then you ask, where do I belong? I'm searching for that answer.

if you read this, you owe it to yourself to listen to the song:

Yeah, these are the poems that really make you think, about yourself and about the world we live in.

not bad... i especially like Master_Yoda's comment.

to me, it either means what he said, or, similarly, the blind man could be some kind of incarnation of god. he is shooting at the world. some people are lucky and don't get hit, even if they've been bad. at the end, everyone gets hit. if you've been bad, you have a higher chance of it happening to you sooner.

now, the last line "And wait for the ricochet" could mean that usually you get hit very indirectly. the answers are not simple. the world is not black or white. the grey zone is where that ricochet suddenly comes out of, hits you in the ass, and you are left standing there wondering why you deserved that.

hmm, there is much more to this i can come up with. but in the meantime, i suggest you "acquire" the following song:

Deep Purple - Child in Time

it should be about 10 minutes long so don't get alarmed if it seems huge :D

Why should our government send our soldiers to foreign soil to protect freedom of speech, when our freedom of speech is being taking away everyday by the same government.

All your deeds that you've done in life, no matter how long you may try to hide or dismiss them, will eventually catch up to you, one way or another.

A very good poem for multiple interpretations :D

Hmmmm interesting! It kinda sounds to me that this is saying that the bad people should pay more attention to the good in the world. The blind man shooting lead is like he is giving good to the world. And the bad people need to open up their minds and get some of the good there is flying around. Im not good at explaining my thoughts so i hope that kinda makes sense! :D

Hm, at first this thread reminded me of the "is this girl hot" thread.. So I'm guessing this is written by a transvestite or something?:P

But seriously, it kinda makes me think about president bush.. at least this line does: "See the blind man shooting at the world"

meh
