Challenge
For the New and Young people who have recently (6 months or less) joined-Prose. FYI: I check every single entry for length of time. I only allow Under 6 months as a member. One year if you are young and it is stated on your profile. Do not worry about 'likes' this challenge is monarchy. Thank you, Benz
It warms my heart when I see young people who have recently joined our amazing writing group- Prose. It restores my faith in poetry, knowing it will live on. Think of this as an english class and I am the teacher. Please share with me your 'own' poem, that has never before been in any challege or published here on the prose. It can be about anything. Poetry only (I prefer verse, with an awareness for simple grammar) although it is not mandatory. I will read each piece thoroughly. Please tag me after you have entered. Please be patient if I do not review the same day you enter. I want to give every write the attention it deserves. *Everyone will receive a review. I am not a writing expert, reviews are based on my own experience of reading and writing poetry for many decades and what I have learned from my editors. *These reviews are my opinion. Thank you and have fun! -Benz

Same Sin

Shouldn't I disassociate those who think less of me?

That involuntarily increase the stress in me?

Judging me... Intellectually

Are any of my choices designed to be wrong to me?

Whether I choose to or not to have sex, or steal, or lie, or

cheat?

Robin Hood was a beast

Me stealing doesn't make me the same thief?

When your man comes to me to exchange flesh in the

sheets

and you ask and I lie just to save a family, keep the peace

He gets to go home and have his cake and eat his sweets

I might go home and invite a friend to comfort me

He and I are the same hoe, aren't we?

And his girl knows but she lies to herself

I lied to her

But a lie, is a lie, is a lie

Don't you see?

Once judged, your thought of me comes differently

Your look, not as gentle

Your words, not as sweet

Who are you to believe that your mischief is any better than my deceit

How can you walk in the flesh, bones, and blood of sin

and yet still judge me?

Shouldn't I eliminate those who think they are better than me?

NO!

It has got to be a lack of knowledge and perspective that holds the throne of the mind of those who cannot see

I have come a long way to get to this process that set me free

A little more understanding, thats what it gave me

How can I save the world if I disassociate those who ingnorantly believe

The stupidity that society has assured it should be

LOL

That wouldn't even be me
