Poem of the Month July 2003
	Up Against the Wall by Frazey Ford Up against the wall You don't stand so tall Better run run run put your armor on again She is twelve years old Nothing she don't know She says you're thirty-two but you wanna be sixteen I know that you did not receive What it was that you needed when you were growing But tell me what's the worth You're repeating history verse by verse What do you prove No matter what you say I think you'll lose you'll lose You'll lose her Up against the wall You don't stand so tall Better run run run put your armor on again Isn't it time we recognized that we all live such broken lives sometimes And it's sad but true that you still carry so much with you And it's sad but true that you still carry so much with you
