There's no time like the present
To get it off your chest
You have to tell us what you want to say
Dont think about the future
Your cardiac arrest
Is slowly creeping closer every day
Steel cred
Who's dead
Who's being intravenous fed
Who's been shot and who's next for the chop
I know
You know
Everybody says so
Can't you tell us who you're gonna drop
Great fight
Last night
Screaming siren
Blue light
Dead and dying lying in the street
No shame
Just fame
Don't play him at his game
You go in cold expect to feel the heat
You may pack
You may whack
Keep your eyes off his back
Don't be thinking he can't turn around
When you feel
It's your deal
Time to turn the big wheel
That's the day you end up in the ground
Triple wide
False pride
Must stand
Can't hide
Got to face the world and all it's got
Insane sharp pain
Face down in the cold rain
Realising that he's just been shot
Blood flows
Life goes
Yet the legend still grows
Late teens he never stood a chance
Stood tall
Fought all
Just a kid who took the fall
This is murder
This is not romance

really great poem/story you have here. (btw I'm so happy you are back!) Did you shake things up a bit with your rhyme scheme? I like it a lot! You have a way with words and this is written really well. Great job!
Thank you Christina
Aye a wee bit
After 1st verse I tried to make it a bit like a rap
Really appreciate your time
Wow, so very powerful peto,
I can relate to this piece with certain people in my life, Brought tears to my eyes,
Thank you blessed
A common theme
Sorry about the tears
Extremely grateful for your words
Your good, any poet that can bring out real emotion is an incredible artist
This one's very different from your usual, and I love it. Made me think of a young person with dreams, who ends up facing the realities of life. Can't hide, and even when fighting, gets hit hard. So…..say what you mean, and mean what you say….NOW. Because eventually, death is at our doorstep, and then, there's no point. Just thinking out loud!! Welcome back!!!
Love that input LIZ
Thank you very much
Extremely grateful as always
Glad to be here
Way to present strong phrase that attempts to diminish the shameful glorification of brutality. Thanks for this piece. Great job.
Bang on as per Bobby
Love that you saw this for what it is
Many thanks
