[hometext] => A little longer than my usual... Comments are appreciated.
[bodytext] => People look at a punk With his blue spiked hair Baggy shirt with the logo For some rock band With obscene lyrics that any parent Who really cared about their kid Would never approve of Pants, three sizes too big That hang off his waist Sneakers, dirty and falling apart And a cigarette held between two fingers With painted nails One glance is all it takes For people to say "They'd better watch that one He's the kind of kid You expect to see on the news Because he shot a teacher And five classmates" People look at a "normal" kid With his perfect blonde hair And his beautiful blue eyes Fifty dollar name-brand shirt Seventy dollar designer label pants Hundred and ten dollar shoes Not a scuff to be found And a pretty, cheerleader girlfriend He's one of the most popular kids in school One glance is all it takes For people to say "He's a good boy Good grades, good parents, perfect life Gonna be a doctor Gonna amount to something" When in reality Cold, unforgiving reality He's gonna wind up A teen father Drug addict Highschool dropout Killed in a car accident When he caught a ride home From one of those wild parties With a drunk driver Cause he cared Cause he tried And he fit in But look what it got him A body bag, a funeral service And people left wondering What could have gone wrong Three years later That punk with the blue hair Is finishing his second year In an Ivy League college His hair's not blue anymore And his pierced lip has grown shut But he's got friends A family that loves him And a future Guess what? He's gonna be a doctor [comments] => 3 [counter] => 160 [topic] => 43 [informant] => ALineAboveTheStepBeneath [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

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. ©
