Hell
by Alex Fox
People look at me
Thinking I’m not right
In the head.
I’m forced to seek
Professional help after I
Nearly beat someone to death.
The shrink looks at me & says,
“You need to control your emotions.”
I glare at him like the beast
I’ve become.
How about you try controlling
Your emotions when
A dear friend killed himself,
You found your girlfriend cheating on you,
Your older brother is in Juvi,
Your dad killed your mother & little brother right in front of you,
You’ve been threatened, shot, & beaten,
You know you killed someone or caused their death,
You’ve seen people brutally murdered right in front of you.
You want to try it?
You don’t got jacknuts to
Tell me to control my emotions!
You’ve got no d**n idea
Of the Hell I’ve been through!

Loss From Home (A Tribute to Lucas Frantz)
by Alex Fox
I never knew him,
Never saw him,
Never even heard of him,
Until we got a notice,
That a member of our small town,
Has lost his life,
Over in Iraq,
How I don’t know,
All I do know,
Is that he will be missed terribly,
By people here at home,
Friends,
Family,
Lovers,
And other people,
Who’re thankful for what he committed to do,
Will miss him through the years.
I never knew him,
Never saw him,
But now I know who he was,
A member of our small town,
Who risked it all,
For our country,
And for us who sleep at home.

Shallow
by Alex Fox
There you go,
Down the hall
In the arms of
The captain of the football team.
He probably doesn’t
Respect you,
He probably doesn’t
Dream of you,
He probably doesn’t
Care about you,
And seeing you in his arms
Just rips my heart out.
I see you go down the hall
In his arms.
Sure he’s probably cute & athletic,
But does he love you?
It hurts to see you
With him
When you have
Someone here who
Respects you,
Dreams of you,
Loves you.
I’m sorry to say,
But if I can say
Anything about you,
It’s that you
Are so shallow.

Storm
by Alex Fox
I am awoken by the roar of thunder
I start to hear the rain
Then a tornado blows in
Pulling & knocking over signs & mailboxes
Uprooting monstrous trees
And destroying homes
Then a hurricane comes in
Flooding towns & alleyways
Taking tens to hundreds
Of lives
Completely obliterating
The landscape
I hear the light drizzle of rain
I fall into a deep sleep.

Punishment By Blood
by Alex Fox
How!? No,
Why!? No,
How & why
Did it happen!?
I remember, I was
Right there, so fast!
She slashed at my
Right arm with
A dirty knife!
I was right there when
I pulled the trigger!
I saw her
Fall motionless,
Lifeless!
I walk up & hoist
Her into the river
Regrettingly!
My cut found
Her bullet hole
When her blood
Seeped into mine!
Knowing what I did
To her, I
Wonder…
How can I
Be pure again
Knowing her blood &
Dirty mud
Swim in the veins
Of my blood,
Of dirty blood?
