Their Fears

Teacher woman's speeking of Rome
we're bored to death thinkin' of crime
they used to sit around passin' notes
now all we pass is time
kid in the back dyin' in vein
who wants a snort of cocain
who's left to blame
the one holding the void
they are the ones
who should have stopped the boy
another senseless day of crime
someone forgot to pass the time
wastin' away in a sea of doubt
only this life to live
so if your going out
go out with a shout
hold their vile tounges
and speek your peace
drop the bomb
hold your ears
they'll listen now
we are their fears

 "Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it."
Henry David Thoreau

Don't look... you might see.
Don't listen... you might hear.
Don't think... you might learn.
Don't walk... you might stumble.
Don't run... you might fall.
Don't make a decision... you might be wrong.
Don't live...you might die.

This is a most interesting and true poem. I loved the emotion that you had in it. It was almost as if you could feel everything happening in your poem.

Good work.
