Attention

Attention

A Poem by Jong Schrijver
"

Just an idea

"

You think you're so tough,

With a gun in your pocket.

 

You say you're ready to kill,

But is that actually true?

 

I think you're just bluffing;

You don't have the guts.

 

Why end someone's life,

And imprison your own?

 

I just ask you to consider,

Before you pull that trigger.

 

Is this truly worth the price,

Just to get some attention?

I really like this. I especially love how you managed to put a good point across that is very true. Short and sweet, but very meaningful at the same time. Very nice =]

like Kasey said, its almost like a conversation. its almost like a victim is trying to convince thier attacker not to kill them or someone else... thats just the way i see it tho.. well good job :)

Sadly the Devil is in the Details.. the details are that those who weld to kill lack the kind of reasoning that prevents those of us who do not..I shall never truly understand it either.. anyhow.. we must try ..

The couplets make it almost conversational. Great message and well-worded. Good job.
