How painful it is to be downtrodden.
This is a taken from a popular hymn sung in schools to teach about prejudice. I used this song from the back of my mind as the structure for this poem.
I appreciate any feedback whatsoever, as always.

For a poem that only had 2 new lines per stanza, this was fairly engrossing... that must be saying something. It definitely put me in mind of a song format. The repetition could get old after awhile, but it also has a nice, ceremonial feel to is, as if reciting verses. Which is something I thought was cool., and unique! : ) Write on...

In truth, the poem is similar in rhythm to the hymn, but the other lines are not identical sans the two I purposefully changed. "You Were There" was originally "Were You There", and small changes like that have been made to the original.

THis was a phenominal poem and it really spoke to me. I saw through the words and into the reasoning and it left my in awe. Keep writing Danny!
