Life can be good.

I made bad choices again and again.

Where to begin?

My whole life i resorted to sin.

When will it end?

As I asked this question,

the answer came to me like a blessing.

Use life as a lesson.

Never follow without second guessing.

acting without thorough research.

Will have a mom dressed in black in a church

watching a child’s last ride in a Hearst.

because you’re controlled by hunger,driven by thirst.

The fact that you live should support life,

like the funds I receive support my kids and my wife.

Try your best to learn from the past.

Live for the future and make life last.

    That’s pretty creative piece.

    Everyone has this own lyrical expression MrdavidJohnson..this sounds like and looks like lyrical poetry i.e they are your own personal thoughts and feelings (?). With this piece I think you have tried to combine the use of language and a specific structure to create imaginative and expressive work..and you’ve achieved that :-) However I’m not sure about the elements in your poem..take a look at this: http://bcs.bedfordstmartins.com/virtualit/poetry/allegory_def.html
