You touch me And I move away You tell me you love me And I don't understand You say it'll be fun And I think I have fun all the time You say you don't understand And I wonder why not You ask me how old I am And I tell you that I am 12 You tell me I'm pretty And I think that's nice You ask me to leave with you And I tell you I can't You touch my hair And I look toward my house You tell me I'm amazing And I still don't understand You smile And I smile back You look like a nice man And I think you have a kind smile You ask me again to come with you And I can't make up my mind You get insistant And I tell you no You raise your hand in anger And I fall to the ground in fear You let your hand fall And I run as fast as I can You are a 37 year old man And I am a 12 year old child You are a guilty man And I am an innocent child You are on the prowl again And I am scared to death Sorry this is so sloppy guys!

Alicia~ It's definitely not sloppy ... it paints a vivid picture of a monster loose in our society every day of the week. Sad commentary on a sick side of society. Seems we can tell them and tell them and too often our youth still don't heed the warnings. I think the piece is powerful and frightening. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
