they beat and beat it
not realizing it wont crack
it wont break because they are not inside of it
just like the author likes it
no confession
they whooping does nothing
take off your shades and pretty clothing
for it helps you see and feel
now juimp into its water and swim
you might not want but open your eyes
swim and see until you reach the end
explore the surface
the heart of the poem
no matter your motivation
whether you'd give your right arm
to find its meaning
you follow the authors vision
and swim

this is a good poem because a lot of people do not know about poetry and this is a good way to introduce them to it and it gives them an example of a poem
