    Check this poem out. We're going to have to recruit this kid, I think.

    Not bad, anybody who is active would be good at the moment.

    some of the comments state he stole the idea from somebody else. But they are missing the point. He still believes in that poem which is rare for somebody of his age and he wrote it, even though he borrowed the idea from somebody else.

    Thanks for sharing this Jordan, read this earlier today at school. I have no clue what I was writing about at 14 but he has a mature/wise perspective on the world and the impact of our generation. I've seen the style done before, two interpretations if you read the poem normally then backwards, and it's neat to see a young poet do so in such a thought-provoking way.

    Darren, I read that too in the comments and read it was more of a response to a previous poem. More of the idea like you said.
