UchiSays: Not one of my best poems, but I hope you get the message.
Rationalizing Realizing
Look at that child who has had it rough.
Look at his life that was so tough.
Look at the tears that fills his eyes.
Now look at his will to stay alive.
Now look at yourself, you've had everything.
Look at your life that wasn't so mean.
Look at the tears that leave your eyes.
But where is your will to stay alive?
If he can come from eternal loneliness and fear
starvation and people tap-dancing on his grave.
If he can come from a living hell
and still want to go on
Why can't you be that strong?
Men are spoiled, greedy beings.
Always wanting trivial things.
Without karma to remind us our place
the world would be a dump we can't escape.
Success keeps us strong.
Failure keeps us humble.
Tears keeps us pure.
And faith keeps us holding on.
Just like that child;
we can be strong.
Harry's eyes widened in surprise at the poem. Overall the poem was obviously a criticism of mankind, but parts of he struck really close to home for Harry. Was he suppose to see himself in the described child? Did Draco know about his past? If so, how?
No, it was impossible for Draco to know about how he'd grown up. He pushed the thoughts out of his head and turned the page.
