I'm not exactly sure how dark the poetry posted here can be, so I'll start off with some average stuff, and asked before I start posting anything serious. So for you people looking for extremely angsty poems- hang in there. Don't want to get myself suspended.
Or, all you nice people out there could save me the time a maybe post a little... eh... outline of what's permitted and what's not. Is there a Resticted Poetry section?
All right, all right, put your pitchforks away. I'll quit blabbing and get on with the poetry.
Half Mast
Where were you
On that September day
When our sense of safety
Was stolen away?
Were you at home with your kids
Were you talking to your friend
What were you doing
When the world seemed to end?
Did you cry when you saw
The buildings fall to the ground?
Did tears run down your face
For the ones they never found?
Or did you sit there in shock
Staring at the TV screen
Wondering how someone could do this?
Why would they be so mean?
There were signs everywhere
Of the tradgey that had passed
Memorials for the dead
Flags standing at half mast.
Our country survived that time
And we still stand strong today
Our pride is stronger than ever
God bless the USA.
Major cliche ending, but oh well. Please R&R!
