Hey guys haven’t posted in a long time. Wrote this when I saw some really messed up stuff with one of my friends:

PLEASE NOTE: This poem is not about death. It is about discrimination and how everyone says it is wrong but do it anyway and don't know why.
**************

Every heart beats,
Ba-boom ba-boom
Every heart will beat its last beat.
Ba-boom ba-boom
Everybody breathes,
Ba-boom ba-boom
Everybody will draw their last breath.
Ba-boom ba-boom
Everybody walks through life,
Ba-boom ba-boom
Everybody will take their last step.
Ba-boom Ba-boom
Everybody hurts,
Silence
Everybody heals.
Silence
Everybody cries,
Silence
Everybody smiles through the tears.
Silence
Everybody laughs,
Silence
Everybody laughs last.
Silence
You,
Silence
Me,
Silence,
Everyone.
Silence
So why are people against a certain colour, belief or country?
Silence.

I totally get this and the metaphor that you employed.

Well done madelyn.
