Poetry Submissions, to cB news Options

[sadolakced acid]

hello poets!

the cB newspaper (letter, whatever) is looking to feature a poem (or two) every issue.

so: if you want us to consider your poem for featuring please:

1. Post your poem(s) in this thread
2. Post a link to the thread with your poem(s) (if you didn't make a thread already for your poem, then just say no thread)

please, no comments - if you wish to comment, click on the link to that poem.

please note that we are cannot feature every poem, and we may not be featuring the best poem; we also consider the emotion that the poem evokes, and if it fits with our publication. Poems submitted will always remain in consideration.

Stand Up and Fight
im kicked down on the floor swallowing the dirt
my blood runs down my eyes as it stains my shirt
i stand up for what i believe in, i stand up for the fight
even if it means if they take away my rights
what happen to the times when black or white didnt matter
racism still flows, as it rises and scatter
they took it all away from me, i went for my dreams
all i hear now is the young ones start to scream
it's been done and they've took it to far
i watch it all as it leaves me with a scar
pull out their guns i've seen them do
murder after death these words dont go through
i pray to god for all this to end, bring peace here on earth
so we can give a better life for those bringing birth
as i wait here watching everybody else cry
i wont give up the fight till the day i die.

Ill Miss You
i walked away from you and left u to cry
i cant forgive myself for saying goodbye
im thinkin to myself how i did you wrong
ive been so lonely now that your gone
missing you so much i cant sleep at night
keep going back to that day when i held u tight
i knew from that moment it had to be true
your the girl i love, baby ill always love you
ill always remember your smile and your sweetest kiss
the girl who made me laugh, your the one i'll miss
if i could id rather be by your side
ill kiss away all the tears you've already cried
i know i cant be with you cuz things wont be the same
the only thing that keeps me alive, is living through your pain
