To Mend MAG
April 9, 2008
How did we get caught in this mix.
Of people throwing away their lives for a fix.
Of homicide and suicide.
Of dropouts and bad routes.
Of polluted earth and girls giving birth.
Of STDs, stolen keys.
Of dark gray skies and countless drive-bys.
Of fallen hope and have to cope.
When will it finally end? When will the world
begin … to mend?

This peom really hit home wth me, because I came from a run down city where if you were wearing the wrong color you got shot and if you were a girl you were expeted to dropout and have a kid. I think, given time, the World could mend it's hurt.

This is the basic ponderings of a teenager, as we begin to awaken to the harshness that resides within our world. And I think it a brilliant way to depict our feelings. The poem itself isn't obscure, however the meaning is there and as deep as any hidden messages. Great job!
