Revolving Doors

This is a poem I wrote the last day of school, during 6th period PE.


Revolving Doors

Revolving doors spin us around

Leaving us in, leaving us out

Leaving warm-hearted in cold

Heartless winter snowdrifts

With piles of air and water

To drown the helpless voices

Voices of spirit

And voices of honor


The voices of truth at war

With rules all ignored

And sorrow calls for peace

Unheard and drowned all the same


Not one side pulling ahead

But both tearing the world around

Smashing pieces to boiling core

And smashing memories

From brainwashed men
