Nathan's Poems

The Big City is Fascinating

The big city is fascinating:
The glow of the buildings,
The height of the skyscrapers
Towering above me,
The buzz on the never quiet streets,
The enormous hotels that seem
to touch the sky,
The expensive food in the restaurants that
seem to be on every corner.

But the country is fascinating:
The smell of the crisp rural breeze
Running through the wheat,
The winding hills,
The thousands of miles of open fields,
The dark forests that seem to lead to a different world,
The cows grazing on the bright green grass,
While the farmers lays sleeping
Under a big oak tree.

Words That Make My Eyes
Cry

Death. War.
Your friend is moving away.
You suck. Go away.
You didn't make the team.
Divorce. Hatred.
We lost in the finals.
Needles. Poverty.
You can't play. Stress.
Homework. Terrorists.
Deforestation. Climate change.
Animals’ suffering. humans’ suffering.
The day when it comes for me to say good bye.
