Collin Hagan Poems

The dawn had come and all was right. They roamed the streets, they prowled the night.They came in cars, and guns they held. Our homes we hid, the house became a cell.
We had no rights, no dignity, no wealth. We hide in the shadows, we clung to our health. Three nights had gone, three mornings passed. We were shunned and beat, forever harassed. They shout, they hit, they throw us aside. They stripped us of possession, our honor, our pride. The sky shined no longer, it reeked of sorrow and sin. The death caps showed hatred with a sinister grin.
Loaded into cattle cars, seventy men stashed, seventy men pressed so close, seventy men clashed. We were fuel for their fires, we were told every night. We were birds without wings, eager for flight.
Shaven and clean, dressed in odd clothing. Hungry and cold, the children are moaning. The fire crackles, the bodies burn. A hellish heat, your stomach churns. I was weak, lanky, and ever so thin. I was fuel for the fire, it burns my skin.
...

I cry out
But no hears me
I seek shelter
But no one shields me
...

Let the picture burn
in the flames you once sat by
forget all that you once knew
and prepare for the endless nights you stay up and cry
...

rose pedels fall from above
smiles, laughter, loving glances
the way she moves
the way she dances
...

A chilling silence befell the room
the doors fly about with a hurendous boom
a man steps forth, almost glowing
followed by a women with a stare that is woeing
...

I want to soar like the stars above
i wanna fight the good fight
I want to feel the tenderness of love
i wanna change the world for the better
...

My life had started, as i feel my life will end
with twists, and turns, curves, and a bend
I used to race the wind, and fight the storms
an endless game, between me, and shaded forms
...

Thy name!
What is thy name? !

Oh creature of laden sorrow!
...

He moves with such grace and swiftness.
The dark hides his every move.
A figure in the corner of your eye.
Seen for a moment, and then lost in the darkness.
...

Beautiful eyes and subtle glances
They shine like a luminescent star
Intriguing, yet awe striking, a celestial gleam
you lose yourself in them, forgetting all things around you
...
