Trailer Park: Diary of a Hayseed (Free verse) by DreamerSupreme

My eyes gaze over the trailor park scene of my life. America to me is an endless stretch of fields with motorhomes parked permanently on dark soil. Morgan drinks his moon shine, freshly distilled from the last night, cursin about the flies that invaded his living space. Cindy is in the field by the trees rough housing like the tomboy she is. She lifts her skirt for anyone that has two dollars and a pair of blindfolds. Dirt roads stretch across the rolling hills like brown veins. The local mom and pop gas station decorates my windows view, its neon sign blinking Mill r s G s Statoin. Miller Ferrows never could spell that well...

Dreamster,

Now you're talking a language I can understand. Much of what you say is absolutely true! For the record, I do not see myself as some fatherly figure. There is a relationship between age and wisdom. But I've met plenty of older people who are the biggest morons in the world and some younger people who are wise far beyond their years. When I was younger I took a hard ass view of the world and wanted to fight everyone. I see the world in a different light now. I really think life is aobut being the best possible person you can be and helping as many people as you can. I do alot of work with young people in the field of athletics and enjoy the hell out of their company. I learn something new from them EVERY DAY. I hope they're learning from me also. I'm not saying my way is the right way. I'm just sharing with you my view of things so you can better understand where I'm coming from. I'm not patronizing you or talking down to you. I respect or talents and now see that you are an extremely insightful kid. Thanks for your comments.
