BORN TO DIE

Poor little bird;

You've fallen from your nest,

And broke your wing

Before you ever had the chance to fly.



Poor little child;

You've grown up too much

When you had to learn

You were just born to die.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A child's first experience with death,and the loss of innocence that goes with it.

I fully agree....why do we waste our time learning...so ew can get a job and meet the perfect guy...and grow old with him..and...die If u dont become a millionair u will still go to heaven...so it doesnt really matter what u acheive as long as your not a bad ass! life is pointless.thats all i know..good poem
