Question: Would this flow for a poetry slam!?
Why is a sudden death more tragic!?
What are the horrors of an unjust death!?
What is a just death!?
Dying is an ugly business!.

The bodies on the news
Stare at us through the camera!.
With unseeing eyes,
We blink again through long dried tears!.

We've suffered
We've cried
Now we watch
Now we Lie

To ourselves, what do we know
How did we come to be
Like this
What is the value of each human life!.

How can we measure the value
Of Life
Of Love
Of the end of the world as we know it!.

What is beauty
What is worth
What is freedom
Do we leave it to the state

To decide who you are!.
Who you will be
And when
Is the end of facism as we know it!.

There is injustice
There is no one there
To hear
The cries for help

Are calling for worth
for freedom
for beauty
And for the end ot the world as they know it!.

Will we answer
The phone rings
In an empty forrest
No one wil hear it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, I think that is very good!. I'm a songwriter myself, and do not like poems and songs that sound like all the others out there!. Yours is unique, and quite frankly would make a good song!. It flows nicely!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
