Description

How many throw-away kids must there be? So many untold memories. Who really cares, so many stares, people fade away everyday. Empty bottles tell sad stories as filthy photos are fumbled through. Grubby fingers buy a few. Sick and twisted finds for the creep with a twisted mind. Parking lots of trash and treasures. They're looked upon as fleshy bags for sinful pleasures. Like discarded frightful secrets, jaded eyes sunk so deep. We keep on walking over corpses. Retiring to our own feeble houses. It is any wonder she's disillusioned in her volition? She can only see one end. I can barely hear you breathing. Are you really out there crying? I can almost feel you dying. Are you . . . already Dead?

Hanging around Boston Commons let's you see how bad others have it. Puts my sucky life in perspective like, "SHUT THE F#CK UP!!" and "Quit whining!!" There are kids younger than me that will do anything to get money for food. I wish I had more to offer than my friendship... that is when I'm not throwing away what little I have to get f#ckn wasted... ..Do we value ourselves so little? Do we value the life of others even less?? As always, if you would like to comment on my s#it, feel free. -yo

It's good to keep things in perspective, when you see others far less fortunate than yourself. But you know, you may s#it on yourself but you have the capacity to empathise, to feel compassion for those worse off, and that puts you leagues ahead of all too many who couldn't care less about anyone but themselves. Furthermore you have the ability to express that compassion and insight in poetry that's truly moving. Work such as this forces us to drop our cocoons for a moment and consider those who live truly hellish lives. You're a good man Yo, take care...

my brother and i lived thru some of the worst detroit had to offer, broken children, incredible violence, no apologies. i struggled, determined to matter, he ran. I can't tell you what was different between us. Don't think one way was better or more right. He chose to get wasted, i chose to fight. 20 years ago, almost. Now, i still fight, i give back what i can, honoring the debt to those who helped me back then. My brother still gets wasted, still runs. A gentle soul, compassionate soul, never really hurt anyone and has nothing to his name. i guess he'd tell you you're free. i'd say the same thing.

Jim really said it so well Yo there's little to add, just don't use your compassion for others as another way to put yourself down, value yourself just as you would wish to see them valued. Great work on the image.
