Below is one of my newest poems call...Salaam TPN, <br /><br />Below is one of my newest poems called Rotten Apples, please let me know what you think. <br /><br /><br /> Rotten Apples<br />Children manifest toys into guns, fun into danger,<br />Potential into waste, while marrying today in hopes of burning tomorrow,<br />All while parents are asleep, but why bother keeping awake?<br /> <br />Rotten apples make for sour pies, I relinquish my slice<br /> <br />Why bother awaking the dead just to inform them about the living<br />Your daughter is self administering heroin in the alley where she lost her virginity.<br />Your proud son has swept his last tear while swinging his rainbow colored noose around his delicate neck.<br />You are oblivious to the noise of rotting apples left neglected.<br />Pretending to salvage what was once whole,<br />Now unrecognizable mush,<br />You make pie out of rotten apples, and utter everything will be okay.<br />You say what you do not know, complacent from abundance of sleep, And ignorant to the signs.<br />Frankly, your taste buds have rotten along with those apples.<br /> <br />Tracing back to the roots, infestation has taken the tree, infecting the fruit.<br />Unseen to the naked eye, it all stems from the cyclic neglect; rejecting the truth<br /><br />All must be annihilated to contain the spread and all fingers point back at you<br /> <br />Had the grower been aware of the seeds, nothing would have ever been planted<br /> <br />I repeat, rotten apples make for sour pies, I relinquish my slice.<br /><br />By Hana Aw-Dahir 2013<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
