When I Grow Up
By Zinsser
When I Grow Up No one ever said, "When I grow up I want to be" Full of dispair & desperation Unless I have some of these Then comes humiliation From the depths we must sink Degradation from the thoughts Weve learned to think When weve lost all humanism Running only on base instinct Then were stuck in defeatism All is gone, do more so we can't think I know this all sounds crazy And it's much worse, then this write seems For when we were all children We too were full of dreams No I don't think any child said "When I grow up I'll be a hype" Or a crack head on the corner Selling my body for the pipe By Connie McDonald Copyright@20012001, Written March 25th, 2002 © on Mar 25 2002 04:51 AM PST 0 • 10
