[hometext] => I started this poem for an Advanced Poetry Workshop at my college, Hobart and William Smith. Throughout a few revisions, I feel like it's ready to be read. Please give me some feedback on what you think!
[bodytext] => How does one build a foundation when the first brick laid is flawed-- cracked with corruption, filled with false empathy enforced so thoroughly there is nothing to do but build over it. Then convincing sincere citizens their actions are the ones to blame when everything comes tumbling down. With index fingers pointed at you, they return three to themselves. Thinking, no they can’t find out-- Because even though throughout all of the wars in which we have stripped people of their livelihoods, this place still stands. Because even though Tony has a life sentence for a drug charge and Al’s free this Friday for murder in the 1st degree, this place still stands. Because even though there are starving children on the street striving for a hot meal they’ll never get to eat, this place still stands. No, they’ll never find out-- no matter what happens; that when this place crumbles We, the founders, are at fault.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
