A Mice Of Men Poem

Keeping their heads above water

As they travel place to place

Looking for work because they don't have a penny to their name

Always looking towards the future and never look back

The bond the two men shared was nothing beyond compare

Always looking out for each other no matter what

And George constantly keeping Lennie out of trouble

Telling him to focus on work and not every pretty woman he sees

But one night something horrible happens that no one could foresee

Curley's wife ends up dead and now the cover up begins

Pitting friend against friend ally against ally

Your conscience constantly eating away at you day in and day out

Leaving you with no peace of mind as the dominos begin to fall

You being wondering is it alright to kill

Your friend your traveling companion to spare him all the horror and pain

For the crime that he caused nights before

While you just take everything you have and run and hope for the best
