    The Frosted Glass
    No one listens to the poor kid,
    Skinny kid wearing last year's fashions.
    He wants to play but the others,
    They fear poverty is contagious - I imagine.
    Poor kid, silently siting on the sideline.
    To the others he is like frosted glass
    Almost as if they can see straight through him.

    Such a wonderfully crafted piece. I liked the phrase 'they fear poverty is contagious'. Hate is indeed such a fear based emotion.

    This is a powerful poem. It addresses an issue that is often overlooked. Children can be so cruel, but I don't think they even realize it until they get older.

    Now this is more like it. Something that flows, something we can see and identify with. I remember a couple of kids like this when I was growing up.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
