My Poem

Our economy is failin
We're in a recession
But what do we value?
Nothin' but possessions
We got drugs, alcohol, and money
And don't really care
Or put forth our best
This is not real rare
So what happened to education?
Technology has fried our brains
We sit on the couch
It's pretty insane
There's this new generation
Of cell phones and music
And we got a lot of drama
It's cuz of that Obama
So what should we do?
Now I'm askin' you
We're a new generation
Let's bring in change
To reach a destination
Come together, act as one
Our battle has just begun

The Rape of Lock

This reading was really weird. I really didn't like it at all. The whole thing was about a guy trying to cut a piece of a woman's hair. It was just not normal. The way Pope wrote the story I didn't get it at all. All the rhyming didn't help. It was a really boring story!!
