Allen, was only fourteen years old
when he was wrestling with his younger brother, he gave him a piledriver
that broke his neck and sent him six feet under
the police came
Allen couldn't tell if they were devils' or his brothers unrest less spirits, they came and dragged him away in their car driven by hell hound.
Allen, did not sleep for fourteen day and fourteen nights
until the day of reckoning Agamemnon sunt him to the place were god had created him for
Allen, never slept until
the beatings took
their toll.

ok, I'm nervous, this is my first time doing this, I might not have written my best work. so bear with this.
my poem if you get the message is about a boy being sentenced to life in prison; i'm firmly against. I'll be back with a better version

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame,
Where there is a flame someone's bound to get burned.
Just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die,
You've got to get up and try.

I love this poem this is extremely impressive for your first post! I must ask, where did you get your inspiration?
