Nothing Cool About It


There's nothing cool about it Catch a clue cause' you can do without it A reason why the graveyards are crowded Shaking my head So full of memories of shame and regret It's the reason why the death angel came to collect We can't expect lost souls to lead themselves We turn towards drugs to keep from saying we're needing help If a man would be himself he could tell what his mission in life is Like this Our kids need to get with the right cliques Cause' peer pressure could present a problem In school for the lessons but beastly bullies bring the drama No need of the stressing because we're blessed to see tomorrow We should lead and never follow I admire those above the influence You can do it tell them no to drugs and never pursue it

It's not about me. It's not about you. It's all about God. Learning to be swift to hear and slow to speak. Traveling is a passion of mine. Still learning to be that change. Consider me a work in progress.

All of that is so true...& I'll continue to use my poetry to shed light on various societal issues, thanks for reading!

You use your writing to bring up many issues like bullying and drugs, and you sum up with the title "Nothing Cool About It" how these problems aren't cool, and nothing good ever comes from them. Thanks for using your poetry to make people more aware of these issues! You are a great writer and you should definitely write more poems for slams like "Help the Homeless" and really show people why these problems aren't cool.
