TinTin - Danger Lies Ahead

Danger lies on every corner in every second. It’s in you and me.
Danger, it’s made for you and me, but all it causes is death,
        injury and most of all fear.
Danger causes fear in a peaceful heart and mind.
Danger leaves me in a dark corner with nothing but despair
        and all the unhappy things in the world.
Danger, who made it and why I don’t know, all I know
        is that it causes me trouble.
I stand alone…
I stand on the street.
Who’s protecting me who’s looking after me.
Who’s the person who will make sure that I don’t starve or I don’t die.
Who’s going to make my meal every evening?
Who’s going to make my life better,
        I ask who!

I talk but no one is listening, I shout and still no one listens,
        I scream and no one listens.
How can I make people listen?
I walk down an empty and cold alley, I see dumpsters filled to capacity,
        I see cats and dogs.
I hear something but when I turn around no one is there.
I start to walk and again I hear something and when I turn around
        I see 3 people with guns in their hand.
I get mugged.

I walk down the street I see an alley with a lot of people in it
        so I decide to go in.
I see people on the ground looking like they are dead,
I see people smoking weed and other drugs.
People bump into me, I start to run out of the alley
        and I bump into women and she was also high.
I wanted to get out of the city.
I wanted to go home and just then I saw a police car
        and I ask for a ride home.
The officer says yes.
Yes!

I walk alone through happiness and sadness,
My tears are mine, my sorrows are mine,
People say that friends and parents take sorrows away,
But what would people know because they only care about themselves.

I look out the window
I see destroyed houses, cracked roads,
I see people dying, and people running for their lives,
Is peace too much to ask for?
Is life less important than money or religion?
Is war the only solution to problems?

I ski down the slope slowly,
I see something beyond the trees…it’s red,
And it looks beautiful,
It looks like a red dot on a white sheet of paper,
I reach the thing and realize that it is a house colored red,
Its windows are huge,
It has two big doors with the lions face as its handle,
It is made of a precious type of stone that I don’t know of,
But I don’t care.
I see the world as a pie filled with both happiness and sorrows,
But what would I know I am only a child.

 

 

My Poem

Blue is like the 10 years old blue paint on the
Wall of a bedroom.

            Blue is hot like the flame of the sunset lifted from
            The mountain top.

Blue is cold like an ice cube
Melting in your mouth.

            Blue sounds like the ocean waves
            In a sea-shell.

Blue tastes like cold refreshing water after playing outside
On a steamy hot day.

            Blue smells like my mother's perfume
            On a windy day.

Blue looks like the gentle rain on April 25th…
My birthday.

            Blue feels like a cool breeze
            On a humid day.

Blue moves like a dolphin when it is swimming
Along the side of a speeding boat.
