The bubbling variety whom many have claimed to be
Often wondered’ would people (especially young people) he would see
Be often so eager, so keen, and if not keen, deem it necessary
To claim a stake in that pool of influence and prejudice known as education?
If they knew they would die, oh at twenty-seven,
The age of romanticism
They thought, when they were eleven

Addiction is the human conditioned personified in a person you call ‘poor’ and ‘wretch’
Wretched Richard, never could kick the horse
And those picturings kept him awake all night, dreaming of red poppies growing on grown over graves.
And he wondered (to only himself of course ) if those deaths had been necessary, and if the enemy (whoever they were) had triumphed, and ruled in a totalitarianism fashion, over the common people of today, would not this be better?
Would not this give the human spirit courage?
To rise against something, for we are better when united against something
And far worse when united against nothing,
The world without injustice was unimaginable and horrifying
Boredom- was the worst thing that a person could be subjected to
But no one listened to Richard, he was after all just a
