Poetry / Midnight Bombing (Analysis)

A prized color, worth and value almost exceeds my own brother

and would you bother to see what I've expressed,

as I blindly caressed the cold cement wall,

watch out not to fall towards an abandoned train

littered with a generations movement cuased by the need for change

I've never exchanged a smile for pain

and still nuthin remains the same,

its got an edge and a sniff of danger

the rush, the adrenaline, running through my veins,

a heart pounding out of my chest, the throbbing in my ever listening ears,

this thrill can't excell much further,

nobady expected me

though everyone knew it could be

these streets are alive with a loud cry

the voice of a nations youth which can only speak the truth

I like the internal ryhme you have going on and that I had to read this poem a couple times to understand which is amazing by the way. I love how your message is inbetween the lines and hidden if one reads it plainly. please tell me when you’ve written another poem or story it’s great work!

It feels like this is talking about street graffiti and the compulsion of youth to use whatever media they can to propagate the truth they perceive.  But they are not spreading truth as some altruistic gift to humanity.  They are thrill seekers, the poem seems to say.

So then, is it truth for truth’s sake or street art for thrill’s sake?

“an abandoned train

littered with a generations movement cuased by the need for change”

I liked that image.  There’s the idea that the previous generations felt the need for change, but they gave up.  This seems to allude to the fact that the current generation knows that they will also go this route.  So, they must try as hard as they can now.  Later they will have lost the will to fight.

nobady expected me
is nobady supposed to be nobody here?
Thought it was a great expression

and still nuthin remains the same,
is the nuthin supposed to be used here as a slang or did u mean nothing?

The piece feels a little open ended to me. But over all it is really a good piece.
