Deepunderground Depression

 
the site is dwindling
with so little interaction
when did we go on disconnect
not supporting each other
I've been taking the pulse of the place
is it just me or does it seem listless?

once there was a family
DUP poets with fierce passion
I get my inspiration here
I am driven to connect with your heart
I feel disenchanted when I fail to reach you
have we stopped caring about poetry
tell me family what's on your heart?

what's wrong?
is your blood not stirred lately?
have we become dysfunctional ego maniacs
only worried about ourselves?

I know there are days I fail to show my support
I get in a funk
clinically depressed
I'm worried is DU under duress?

I know as artists we are temperamental
the site seems to be struggling
is it just me or is this a mass depression?

I just wanted to drop you all this message
if you have the time pick a poet today
and show them some love
you never know how this small act will effect someone
dig deep into the poetry being offered
by doing so you are picking the fruit of inspiration

let's remember one another today
and keep DU alive
