    Requiem For Life

    I saw a man his hair was long
    I soon found out he was too headstrong
    Stood there and looked him in the eye
    Felt for sure one of us would die
    Soon his teeth began to show
    He said you won't to fight or go
    We turned and walked opposite ways
    He was shot in an alley in a few days

    Culture spins and weaves your soul
    Till your personality begins to glow
    You highlight your life with joy and pain
    Hoping your soul can be regained
    If your right and you do win
    Then your life will truly begin
    So push the envelope with all your might
    Express your heart and all that's right

    I'd write some more of this for you
    But you look like you have no clue
    You don't understand what I'm trying to say
    So just get out of my way
    As I journey on the course of life
    Filled with hatred and much strife
    I try to keep my mind so clear
    So I'll go by and get out of here
    Eternity is what I will seek
    It's a journey for the meek.

    This is GREAT! Your imagery is superb, your flow is magnificent, and your meter and rhyme are exquisite! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful poem. 10

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
