Literature Text

he was a boy who cried wolf
and thought that no one listened
raised by wolves
he didn't understand

and he died in a crowd
they let him down
to the softness of the concrete
head beside the handprints of a child
who tried to push the world away

he was a boy...
he didn't understand...
god hates black sheep
they get lost in the night
this isn't done(maybe)

and there's a picture i'm going to take with it but I'm not ready yet. I'm waiting on getting another tattoo and being more confident about my body(which is an off hand way of warning you it'll feature my nipple pierced by metal).

I love the delicacy and vulnerability in this, it opposes the idea of being raised by wolves, another great image( I have always thought that I could fall in love with someone raised by wolves, but I digress...)-it also has this great feeling like a Frankenstein who was beaten in the streets, an excellent gothic image that also makes him more appealing and sympathetic to the reader. This is great work, Joe.
