Description
They have everyone's attentionAll eyes on them as they wheel around the room
To them it doesn't seem so extraordinary
Not worth all the fuss
Just two boys dancing together
The old folks look on in disgust
Disapproval stains their faces
"Kids these days, kids these days
Whole world's gone insane."
The young ones are all laughing
Can't believe their eyes
Think its all good fun
"Well, look at that!
Isn't that ridiculous!"
But the boys don't pay them any mind
They're far too happy to be caring
Simply waltzing to a cheerful song
Arm on shoulder, hand on hip
Eye to eye
They know that they'll regret this
That they've crossed the uncrossable line
Child's play has become too brave
Retribution has to come sometime
But it won't come now
For now they're simply dancing
Smiling as they move together
As they read each other's eyes
Such an easy thing
Two boys dancing together
So beautiful and so benign
It won't be allowed to stand
They'll put a stop to it, the old folks will
As soon as this song is over
As soon as this song is over

Short and simple and to the point. Great work.

I actually really enjoy the begining and end of this poem. I feel as though the two-boys-in-their-own-world stanzas are bordering onthe verge of cliche. My favorite part is the last line--so stark and yet to poetic; so cynical too, but so beautiful... And I think the "young ones" stanza almost sounds like old people as well! Kids would call them fags, not ridiculous. But whatever, its poetry : ) This was sweet. I like it.

The beginning is a bit frank and dull at the reader within the first stanza (it could be more vague since the title is so clear), but it's forgotten with the whimsy of the rest of the poem. It's wonderful and original and I love it.
