Fortunately he died young, not having much of a life to remember his past...


Poem Artwork

On the streets money he did make,
In the bedrooms his virginity they did take,
Out on the streets for a pickup he was sent,
All of his man friends were quite bent…

The guys drunk & high,
They used him and made him cry,
Sometimes several did to his bed come,
They plied him with drugs & rum…

Most times afterwards he couldn’t sit,
On his knees in the bathroom, out came every bit,
Ice did freeze away the backside pain,
Only did he work the streets in clean, warm weather,
So lucky he was when the weekend did rain…

Back on Monday to junior year in high school,
The only worry he had was a class in the pool,
For cash he carried a roll in his pocket,
Under his clothes for that cash, a diaper he wore,
The diaper to hide the blood of that night he could not forget…

I have been fortunate not to know anyone like that. What you have and that's why you thought to write this poem about his plight. Very sad indeed to think this goes on.

In the End: Apocalyptic Poetry by Debra Kraft

In the end they'll all be dancin'--all them ones that didn't die.... Dance with me in the shadows amidst the lightning and the thunder, and all that nu-cu-lar debris. See the big bang from the other side, and then open that cellar door. Go down into
