Patrick Farley Iv Poet Free verse

No Man

A man that's torn; 
no face reflects pride
we are humbled, forlorn.

This land is desolate,
seas of sand hypnotize
your mind

time doesn't stop
but it does not exist
society's entwined in falling behind.
We are designed to rewind.

Going back to what we know
is what we do first.

We thirst for blood
and kill what we love.

A man that's torn;
no face reflects elation
we are humbled, complacent. 
Ignorant, intoxicated.

A man that's torn;
is no man at all.
Because
he's torn in half,
and is half as tall.

Jake Ponce October 20, 2013 at 4:38 AM What a great piece. Not only did I learn a lot but also seem to have had a new-found appreciation for my being. The way you executed this airs life lessons in such a way that even most teenagers with short attention span can appreciate!
