~ The Finger

~ The Finger

 

 

In old forgotten days

Where she was a little one

There was always something

To think about and the fist raised

If she didn’t agree with the mature

Or felt their failure, as a waste

 

The finger was a message

To those hatred people

From early state she knew

Some were lovable,

Others had no clue

But the finger was their due

 

She was an early rebel

One who hated injustice

One who fought for right

And to spread the lovely light

It was just they wouldn’t see

What the child brought so bright

 

She loved to give the finger

To those who weren’t honest,

For them who made some fights

And even when she was just five

She did knew all her rights.

 

So if you recognize her,

Please come and tell me soon,

Because I’m searching for her

Finger to put out into this room

Oh does this bring back nostalgia. I remember when I learned what that fingered meant at a very young age, and the power I felt from it. Lol kids do the darnedest things , and I love how you portrayed that in this piece. I think we can all pretty much relate to this. Great job, Elisa (as usual) .

Sweet child! Reminded me of me, at least the way I saw most adults when I was little. Just didn't know about the finger then, or I probably would have given it! Wonderfull writing! Love the kid's face....

Oooh thank you my lady, for seeing the goods in it :) It was all meant to joke and poke the cafe a little lol :) Thank you again

[Penlady]

I loved every part of this poem. It made me think of Joan Jett as a young girl for some reason. I guess it was the rebellion that was felt. To be honest this sounds like something I would have done as a child as well. The music went along perfectly, it set the 'tone'.
Good job!

Lol thank you dear one for poppin' by so sweet lol, I never thought this poem I wrote in 15 minutes would be rated so high lol... it was just a joke aaaargh :D nice though :) happy to see you by dear. E.L.

i can picture her in all her glory

Then you saw her too when she buried a dead frog who was hidden by a car, and years later she wanted to analyze his bones...

lol...unfortunately my son learned this from his granddad..and used it for a time..frightenly he used it in context..he has stopped now..after learning it wasnt a very appropriate way to get his point across..!

Ha lol... glad he stopped... it's no good to be a forced rebel.
