Oh yeah, Joel? Well try this on for size....


REALIZE TO SEE

Enough Killing
Realize
See
You might just take my life

Realize
Give it up
See
That you need to

Realize
Killing is too true
See
One life taken is already one too many

Realize
You need to protect Life
See this
And Speak

Behest the ones who kill
Beseech them not to murder

The murdered are Beseeching you from the grave

To Realize
To See

Do you Realize?
Do you See?

The Truth

I am now open to all comments on how awesome this poem is.

Who is the author of this poem? Is it you, Mandi?

mandi said...

ummm....yes? Oh, like I couldn't write a poem this good.

Ok, the author is Nichole Pettit from Realizetown, New Jersey. It just made me realize so darn much, I had to share it with the world.

I am particularly fond of the line where she uses the word "behest" as a verb. Sounds like someone is using their thesaurus without a license.

I bet all the murderers out there would read this and think "So, So true. I must change my ways because if I don't, then one of my victims might be this girl. Now I realize."

GBH Mandi.

Just see this and speak. OK?

That I will do. Joel, whaddya say we go behest some non-killing. The beseechers from the grave are really getting on my nerves with all their beseeching. Quiet down, already and be murdered with some dignity. Guy!

I see this...and realize. Therefore, I must see this and speak. And thus I will say in a nerdy high-pitched voice "REAAAAALY?"
