What Can I Do

I think I will write a poem Rebellion highly populated Sadly frowned Upon Many with anger Violence when Billy Takes A Stand Billy Aligned with many Well, ended up disappointed Spent the night in the can No one came to save Billy Billy was given tough love. The crowd was violent, but not Billy He acted accordingly How would you react Friend unjustly shot Make believe is all this is The world can't feel anymore This poem can't change that Still like writing it Better than leaving Billy in the Can Imagine If it was not your friend Your whole family Your whole country No turning heads Our enemies tell us straight to our face "YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT." Land of the free will never let this slide So you decide. Isn't that what being free is all about What can you do Nothing if you are shackled like Billie In a Cage No fight just judgement No listen just speculation No worries you did not try happy and content Billie is a fool How long does that last I just switch sides Thieves and honor Good luck and you all ready turned the head What will it take to turn it back the right way What Can I do No praying here Mans free will Except, still has not shown it Enslaved others which enslaved himself Now he is in fear What can I do Just stay clear No more politics No more schools No more city You failed Primitive is all I can do

Resonates with me perfectly crossbones. Fear and hopelessness fills the earth and this nation right now. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Now that is a good poem. I can't write poetry to save my life. Nice job.

Neither can I, Just went with this one. Learning sometimes that is all writing is about. Write something you are not sure about and just see where it takes you. You can always erase it later, all though I really hate doing that so maybe just rewrite it. That is only if I can figure it out.
