Draft Day

Draft Day

A Poem by Jack Kennedy
"

The Motion

"
              
On the twenty second of may,
For me is a certain draft day
Drafted to a land of uncertainty
This fact alone just worries me

Shipped out with a lost mind
All of us lined up to be set 'free'
What will ever happen to me
Must I be drafted in the league

Will I end up like others before me
Heartless, miserable and alone
Hopeless, detestable and single
Who knows, I'll find out in time

On the twenty second of may
I will be on the stage waiting,
Waiting to be finally drafted,
Drafted to a land of uncertainty

As I stepped from the threshold of childhood to that of a young man so many years ago I too took the time in stride, questioning life like do now. I still hope I will be half the man I want to be but that like many things is a process of time and effort.

Kudos man and keep it up.

I can only imagine it would very scary going into the real world. After finishing school, I myself am still in school. So I have no idea what it would be like. This is a great write, nicely penned.

Kaze~ :-)
