    the high cost of lowlife

     when they say 'grow up' do they mean
    'put through the grinder'?
    because a lesson always comes with a
    painful reminder
    of innocence lost
    or a bill you couldnt pay
    like the people hurt by words
    u did or didn't say
    while the bodies piled up
    you swept the dust under the rug
    and let injustices occur
    because u couldn't be bugged

    thanks for all your encouraging words. im glad u liked it :)

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
