Memory Lane

by Anthony smith   May 25, 2007


Do you really know what a best friend is,
It's totally different from a movie made in show biz,
They're there thick and thin,
by your side trying to make them ends,
Whenever I'm getting picked on,
They're there to defend,
I'll have unconditional love for them,
Even if they choose to inject drugs into their skin,
For I know the fun, funny, and good hearted person within,
Who am I to judge another brother,
My GOD wants us all to love one another,
He is the only one that can judge me,
I used to have a best friend,
But now he's living in my sleep,
Still I remember the good times we had,
The bad times don't exist,
Forgeting all the times he made me mad,
A good friend is always there like my dad,
We go back like 2 pimps in a Caddilac,
I was the quiet one and you was the mack,
Even though we lost touch,
I wrote this poem to tell my homies I miss ya'll so much,
If ya'll were here right now,
I would say thanks for holding me down,
GOD, I'm grateful for the new friends I found,
Maybe 30 years from now they'll still be around,
If not, then they're traveling in my mind like the cars uptown,
Only the special ones get a place in my heart like my grandma underground.

    Seriously, one thing that I really like about your stuff is that it gives me a certain thing to think about, like it tells of a single story, and uncomplete story, simply interesting...

    If I may suggest, maybe breaking it into stanza form will enhance the flow? It was a fine, promising piece of work that could be improved in every other ways possible. You've got good ideas in this poem--what a friend is like, how one doesn't judge others without knowing them, how others seem to find a way to your heart, and etc--which could be written in different poems as well. Applying these ideas in just one piece is tedious and stressing to the reader. In my humblest opinion, writing each idea individually would be wonderful. Hey, now, don't get me wrong. It was fine the way it is (as I presumed that this is your own style of writing), but then again, if you're willing to enhance it, then please do so. I'd love to read more of your works in the near future...Peace Profundis...
