(If you don't have one, your body is going to suffer from a collapse!)
Want to stand up straight It may be to late You may have already sealed your fate You need a backbone to support your action Without it you won't get much satisfaction It takes guts to survive in this world If you don't believe me just go try diving for a pearl You may not have to go pearl diving everyday But you still need guts to play The real game You give it a name I don't care Backbone or not this world just isn't fare So either you're going to slump Or you're going to the dump Or maybe be a chump Choice

New Poetry by OnepoetGem *the Poetic Rapper

I once heard this preacher say, "I''ll preach out of a paper bag if I have to." I feel the same about verse.

Paper Bag Poet

From the wishing well, minusing the devil''s hell.

I Wish U Well

Roses are red, thorns prick instead, depending on the head, or what is later on said.

Thorns End

The world is full of angry pissed off people everywhere, here and there, and some really don''t care. They have anger to spare.

Pissed Off People

Life is a sweet and sour affair, so take a deep breath and find some fresh air, that is if you dare or really care.

Deliver Us From Evil

We need oxygen, aka air, no matter what it needs to be there, however life at times isn't fair.

Lung Answer

and likes, whatever! Oh yes, the racist and bigots are here too, just like in regular society.

Peoples Dislikes

"Be happy for what you escape!" A Trask quote got me to thinking, and inking.
