Prose Poetry:

Today, I talked to Mr. Thompson. I asked him his opinion on our country. He said America was a walking contradiction, that individuality is the American myth. We preach it, but reject it in people. Race, culture, religion are all hollow. Diversity is dead. Our fore founders failed. The great experiment flopped. Hard to argue with him on that.

  1. I really liked this. I agree with a lot of the sentiments expressed in this piece. There is so much that we say we stand for that is rejected because it makes society uncomfortable. I like the way this poem expressed that. Did you write this yourself or did you find it somewhere?
