Cuts me to the core
It has no inhibitions
Never caring who it hurts
Because it exists
Only to please itself

Love A. E. Housman- lol Thanks for the comments, all.
Real poetry can be penetrating. Intriguing title.
As if "Terrance this is stupid stuff" were stripped. Well-done.
Ah, the poem. Poems are both honest and deceitful. They cut to the quick when their truths apply specifically to us for sure. Thanks for the poem.
Interesting take on the poem, though it seems some poems uplift and help.
