Crowded Halls

by Jacklyn   Dec 24, 2005


The halls are crowded
hateful words are spited
One race to another
blooming more resentment

Another form of "Fun"
everyone verses one
leaving one behind
their differences divide

Labels bounce around
incorrectly presented
prejudging each other
Creating mask again

The halls are crowded
in the teenage generation
Spreading around hatred
Yet no one puts forth
a different effort.

~My History teacher keeps asking us how we plan on making a difference because we are the next generation that's going to be leading America. But if you pay attention to the things said in the hallways it's looking scary.

    Jacklyn,

    Long time since I dropped in to read one of your poems. This is such a powerful and deeply thought provoking write.

    I wish we could drop all the differences and discrimination and just accept each other. No matter how we appear diffferent on the exterior, we are all the same and tick the same way inside.

    Well written.

    Warmest regards,

    Steve

    Powerful message and wonderfully written....Maybe one day racism will not be an issue in this world, all I can say is Red is the color that flows through all our veins and we should love everyone....

    Love ya, Ann

    I don't know what will become of us...looking around at the world today, the future seems scary. sometimes, I wonder if I'll even live that long... 17 years seems old already

    I've got a lot on my mind right now... thanks for the contemplative write. as always, keep up the good work.
