    Poem Commentary

    this is a poem i used in a school contest and it was rated first in the whole school it is a poem from the heart they said

    the block

    i am from the block where bangers hang and slang
     where the names remain the same but the faces change
     where people die every day from gangs in the street
     where people hide away to escape the heat
    where beef is beef it turns coward to chickens
    where old people talk but the young ones dont listen 
    it will always be the same it will never change
    then again this is the block where  i hang

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
