My English teacher gave us this prompt last week, and basically said we could do whatever we want to fufill it. I know a lot of people decided to write a poem for it, but I was going to do an easy or a piece of crazy macaroni art.

Turns out I wrote a poem. Loads easier.

QUOTE
Twelve years of horror,
Sorrow and hate.
Discrimination, rampant,
Incarceration, more often then not,
Death, a fickle friend.

Twelve years,
It could’ve been zero years.
You had the chance to save me.
You ask,
“Why should I?”
I ask,
“Why shouldn’t you?”

Eight years of war,
Work and fear.
“Arbeit macht frei?”
“Work makes me free?”
Not in the way I want.

Eight years,
It could’ve been zero years.
Why didn’t you look ahead?
Churchill did.
And what did you do?
Laugh at him, dismiss him.
Hitler is a no one!

Obviously,
You were wrong,
And Winston was right.
You said Russia was the problem,
But in the end they were our friends.

Twelve years, eight years,
It could’ve been zero years.
What is done is done,
But still questions may remain.
Why so laissez-faire?
Who to blame?
What to say?

Sorry’d be a good start.


If anyone really knows their Bloc Party lyrics, Why so laissez-faire is from the song Plans.

Rate, help, whatever.
Due tomorrow.

Edit: My title for now is "Twelve Years, Eight Years", but I might change it to something like "Wasted Years"

I'm not a poet and i know it,
i really like your work,
you have talent and you show it,
it's a pretty good perk.

Any suggestions or spell checks, etc. would be appeciated.

You can pass off spelling mistakes by saying they are there to help it keep flowing. tongue.gif

It's really good. Well done. thumbsup.gif
