The Question Poem

By Josh and Khari

Do you think life is so nice?

Why do you hang with the Greasers?

Why have so many people died?

How is my life going to end?

Should I focus on my education?

Where do I go from here?

Do I even have a future?

Why do people only see the greasers as convicts?

What world am I living in?

Where do I go from here?

Lately, I’ve had close encounters with    DEATH

It has been hard to escape      DEATH

The people around me keep      DYING

While the fire of DEATH continues to burn,

My stomach continues to churn as pain consumes me,

I need my family to help cope with the hurt  DEATH causes

I’m still standing and I won’t let DEATH or murder

Be justified as the pride of me,

But I can’t seem to shake this monster of DEATH

Inside of me

“I don’t think I’ll ever get used to…”

Everyone bullying me because I am                               little

Not going out with my brothers because I am                little

Losing my friends and family makes me feel                 alone

Not being a ‘true greaser’ makes me feel                      alone

To take my mind off the stress I look at the                    sunset

I wish life was as beautiful as a                                     sunset

My favorite part of each day is                                      school

I don’t like to stand out only because of                       school

The worst part of my life’s been experiencing             death

Being a part of this madness will end with                   death
