My life is either very long
Or very short
Which ever it is I am
But a humble man
A stranger upon the dying world

I like that in so short poem can put so important words. Very short, very concise. :););) First 2 lines make that I think about that --> that every thing in life can look at 2 sides. And no matter what side U choose, U can again see 2 facilities. 3 other lines I didn't understand clearly, because english language r little bit illogical some times. If I compare it with latvian language (I'm from Latvia). :):) But I like it! ;)

We're all just strangers to one another on this earth... Our world is dying, and it's sad, but if we could just get people to pay more attention, it would help a little bit. Very short but to the point. =) Mandy

I like this poem.....even though its very short it allow you to reflect on your life, just life in general. The way I interpreted this poem is that whether your live for a short or long period of time your going to always be yourself despite what others may want you to be. You can only live for you and no one else.......cause when its all said and done everyone dies.

Enigmatic! Well written! Interestingly vague!
Most unusual! Gave it an "I Like It" vote.
Happy trails,
Ed Bradley.

I found it interesting too. No matter how long or short our time here is we are all "humble" creatures upon a world where death is inevitable. I agreed with Ed, there is a (perhaps) deliberate vagueness here, particularly in the last line to make us ponder and reflect. (and as you say to perhaps view it differently to others and to you even as the author.)
I gave it an I like it vote too.

Interesting my friend, very interesting. Either very long or very short? No middle way? Very succinct but poignant. Lovely! ~Em

Hellow Indie. Your message is very deep and sweet. Length of life is immaterial for you'll ever remain humble. My kind of a poem. Well done, my dear.

An indepth poem indeed. Last line took my breath away.
Please help me understand that please.
i loved your style.honest and to the point

Beautiful! The thought just matched exactly what and the why about men. Life really is either a bit short or much shorter. It depends on how long or short a lifetime is. Nobody stays in this world forever. We, all, but are passing creatures on this planet and so will be the coming generations. ^^

Hello indiefreak :)
I, like everyone else it seems, am amazed at how you can say so much in such a small space. I might just have to try this out one day. If I can put as much feeling into a short poem as you did, I'll have a great poem, just like yours. I love it!

Even though it is only one stanza, that is enough to get your point across. Kudo's.

Reflective of your deeper thoughts. Is it that it is a rotten corrupt world and therefore you are stranger to it. Meaningful and expansive.
Posted: Oct 4, 2008
Absolutely fantastic. It blows my mind how you can express such complex thought in a single stanza. Well done!
