    Question

    I'm not a huge fan of poetry written on situations, well, I mean on big public affairs I guess. It happens, but, it's very, hmmm. non-personal maybe?
    But at any rate, I thought this poem was good, but due to my biased opinions on poems about things such as this, I didn't enjoy it as much as some people may have.

    If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light. If I lose paper and ink, I wil write in blood on forgotten walls. I will write always, I will capture nights all over the world and bring them to you.

    New York is buried,
    dogs and cats starve
    in empty apartments,
    children have become
    orphans,
    flags are flown
    at half staff
    and flags and ribbons
    and balloons are
    flown from houses
    and car antennae.

    and as the eagle
    sharpens its talons,
    life goes
    on
    with jobs and school
    and friends
    and lovers
    and car repairs
    and electric bills
    and a coming winter
    and next year's
    summer.

    I like it, crazy. Especially the part about time moving on anyway.
