Crystal Dawn Poems

1.

A newborn baby is held in his mother’s arms.
Another newborn baby is looking at his charms.

Held in his mother’s arms, hoping he will be lucky.
...

What are they laughing about,
Laughing and joking and starting to shout?
A little girl is in the corner with her head down.
She feels like the guiltiest person in town.
...

Daddy, daddy, you told the judge yesterday
A lie to take everything away
From Mommy.
...

The only best friend
My heart will ever know is you. And you
Are still the only one who can make tears
Roll down my cheeks from laughter.
...

Lord, how long am I gonna keep tempting myself to sin?
I always push it too far.
Before I know it,
Sin's standing at my door,
...

The Best Poem Of Crystal Dawn

Life

A newborn baby is held in his mother’s arms.
Another newborn baby is looking at his charms.

Held in his mother’s arms, hoping he will be lucky.
The other newborn is already saying, “Ducky.”

At a playground,
A toddler can only find a broken swing.
The other is treated like a king.

In second grade,
The child’s family doesn’t even have a phone.
The other child has a condominium to call his home.

In sixth grade,
The child walks alone.
The other child always has a friend on the phone.

In ninth grade,
The child is smoking weed.
The other child is lovely to see.

In twelfth grade,
The child isn’t going to graduate.
The other child is ready to accumulate.

The other child is what the first child always wanted to be.
“Life was never fair to me.”

Reading the Fetus I am questioning the grounds of poetry... Though I believe most your poems are very mature, I think for that specific one you still haven't decided if you want people to read it or feel it as you felt it when you wrote. The latter happened to me, and therefore my objection. I would have liked to be warned, and so far I believe poems warn you somehow by possessing that very character of 'a poem'... But then again, art doesn't have to be admired, not even accepted, to be good.
