Sometimes I close my eyes
And realize no one tries
To succeed, or take part
In any type of art
All we do is kick back
And watch the world attack
The homeless, the poor,
And consider every girl a w****
All I ask is can we all complete the task
So children can sit safe in their fleece,
This task completed will create world peace.

The author's comments:
I was on a mission to write a poem for one of my very close friends, as just a thing we do but generally we draw pictures, I came up with this and was very proud of myself and showed my English teacher, who tried to enter it into a poetry contest for me, sadly they wouldn't accept it because it had a provocative term, but it is used in context, so i decided to try and upload it onto here.
