Hey Zandon,
Where did you go?
Please let me know.
We all miss you badly.
We still mourn the loss of you sadly.
Why can't ya come back Z?
It's not right without ya...can't ya see?
Levi said he saw you on sitting on his bed.
Why you playin with that 5 year old's head?
Ya know he doesn't understand really where your at.
Holly told him the truth....ya she told him that.
Cass and Ricky are never out and about anymore.
They pretty much shut civiliztion out...they really slammed the door.
I mean they saw you die...thier best friend.
They saw the WHOLE thing from beginning to end.
Bob will most likely get charged with "Hate Crime"
and he'll either get killed or do some time.
Cass said your last words were "Help me guys!"
Man it was too soon to say goodbyes!
Everyone said this homicide was actually meant for Drew,
but how could they not know it was you?
Stevy Evans said he wasn't there, he left around 1:30 to 2:00 (am),
but we know stevy ain't gonna leave till ALL the drugs and alcohols gone...we do.
Well Z that's all I have to say.
maybe I'll write you another day.

Peace out homie...much love.
The Street Corner Kid...
Crystal

This was very powerful. Hit me really hard.
I've lost a few friends- not cool.
Condolences sent out to you and your friends.

As for the poem itself, very very well done. Can't say nothing bad about it.

Look at the sun and burn your eyes. You'll be fine in the end.

this is so sad...I hope you and everyone involved are gonna be ok. As for the poem, the rhyme scheme sounds kinda forced, but its good anyway.

Why do people kill cuz of differences?
No idea. If we were all the same it'd be very boring. I'm the only Puerto Rican in my university and I don't get any negative vibes from people, which is good....but I'm lucky.
I guess it could be fear......
it could be ignorance....

either way, it's wrong.

but once again, great poem.
It came out so fast because that's what you were feeling.
I wrote a poem like this one after my friend died a few years ago. I know how that is...

be strong man.
