NO CRIME <br />Don’t look askance <br />‘cause I’m not young <br />Some day you’ll <br />be there too <br /> <br />It is no crime to <br />linger on <br />It took some <br />Work to do <br /> <br />The waves at shore <br />unravel time <br />They pummel <br />seduce some more <br /> <br />I try to stave <br />each threatening push <br />And yet I face <br />this war <br /> <br />Please pause a moment <br />if you will <br />I want to reach <br />you still <br /> <br />Stay open to <br />your heart of love <br />Don’t close off <br />give the shove <br /> <br />Stinging silence <br />nonchalant speech <br />With every look <br />you breach <br /> <br />The open hearted <br />values held <br />Before your peers <br />propelled <br /> <br />‘You don’t belong <br />you withered leaf <br />How could you <br />think to teach <br /> <br />We who have it all <br />you know <br />For now the Youth <br />are Chief<br /><br />monica monet<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/no-crime/
