Being in Bad Company

This is a poem about naughty teenagers - not about me though.

Was the drugs that did it?
Or might have been the drink?
Rabid dog barked
As the little boy kicked hard
Oh, having so much fun

Thieving was cool
Yeah, Yeah, WE RULE,
Until one of us was caught
'Wasn't me', she said
All looked the other way

Worst thing was
THE OLD LADY
She was so kind and sweet
Then so hurt and tearful
As her handbag fell into our hands

Police arrived
So we lied lied lied
Until no-one knew the truth
Or believed what we'd done
Even us

Time past on
Bad company was more solitary now

oh! This is so sad. These days addiction to drugs, cigarettes, alcohol and premature sex is not at all a rare happening in schools..And you've given a very good message to everyone!
"Time past on
Bad company was more solitary now"- This is really a great way of ending any write like this..

Also, this piece reminded me of my own school days :P :P

But indeed a very creative work..Great going! :)

Interesting. The writing seems disjointed which plays into craziness of the lifestyle being discribed. Good show.

A good way of expressing remorse, for stealing from a kind helpless person.
Yeah, we all do things we become ashamed of in our youth.

Dough� what's with that school pill over there ?

Haha , it really doesn't fit in that little box with trashy pills :).

[George Love]

Some meaning, some remorse, some sadness and some hope. Well done

Isn't there a saying that "Bad Company corrupts good morals?" Your title made me think of that right away. This is good. The classic "blame game"..."I didn't do it....it wasn't me..." or "I did it because... ? as they look the other way. Very thought provoking piece and who knows what it might prevent? I love a piece that makes us think! Kudos!!!

[Nick Erickson]

This is an interesting piece here, one that hints at a little remorse that gets overshadowed by relief of not being punished. Either way, drugs or alcohol, it's never an excuse.
All bad stories begin with "I got drunk and............" or "I was smoking / taking _______ and.................."

Very good write, well strung and vivid.
Well done.

You show some meaning in this poem. I do like the picture you posted too. I will say that i did not do drugs in high school, but starting my college years off, i have gained more understanding and yet more confusion for alot of things.

I like this poem. It shows how dishonesty plays around in a circle until the truth, is unknow. Alot of people do that thesed days.

Thanks for sharing this poem, i will save it.
