JOSIE'S POEMS
Poems for Reflection and Discussion
By Josie Whitehead
THE DEATH SENTENCE
By Josie Whitehead
SENTENCED
Is he who lacks vision, drive and ambition
But prefers the imprisonment of tradition.
INCARCERATED
By bonds of monotonous life-draining labour
Yet unwilling to grasp any new opportunities.
KILLED
By lack of passion, uninspired thinking, apathy;
Unfulfilled dreams, melancholia, self destruction.
ENTOMBED FOREVER
Within the graveyard of the inward facing mind,
The constant complaining, yet unwillingness to change.

TALKING POINT:
So, what things do you think kills a person slowly in life, and what things stifle or thwart your physical, mental and emotional growth too? What can you do to change this? Are there places in the world where people are not
free to change things in their world? Josie
