Eagle Scout never was i but both my brothers made it that high but i don't need a badge or pin to tell me what i can accomplish yet we label the crowd and destroy within and tell everyone they can never make it. i might not be perfect, but at least i know the badge today won't last tomorrow. --- [May 5, 2000] xscoutx |

I liked this one. " I don't need a badge or pin" That's really cool. Jon "Your anger is a gift"-Rage Against The Machine |

The message here is awesome. You should never let anyone tell you what you can and cannot accomplish. Don't let people hold you down from your dreams. The last stanza was very good, and that really had a lot of power. Very nice work, Scott. I really enjoyed this... --Marie You can’t expect the roses to grow without the weeds. |

Your critique message is very cool...just thought that should be said. Even though this is short, the message behind it is very relevant to todays society. Thanks for the read. ~AF~ Just because I hear voices doesn't mean I'm crazy...SHUT UP IN THERE!!! |

Linc, i'm 19, i dropped out after being a tiger cub in first grade (Actually i moved, and then i came back and I was so far behind on all my badges in cub scouts, that i just quit, i never made it to a boy scout, hahaha!!!) And AF, thanks, that's my view on criticizing poetry, poetry is a painting, and they can paint all sort of different pictures, and each pictures is worth 2000 words, so what we really got is a lot of ideas circulating around, English is an art, not a science. xscoutx |

I was a cub scout.....made it up to that Bear badge....Ummm....but that was in like 3rd grade. Anyhow nice poem. I understood it. I liked it and I loved the line about the badges....that the one you get today may not serve for tomorrow. Nicely done.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

What I got from this was that you cant let material things like a badge determine how successful you can be. But you could have had a totally different meaning. That is what is great about poetry. One poem can touch so many people because they all see something different in it. Great job! *Amanda* |
