Newbie

Contributed by StoneAngel on Monday, 3rd May 2004 @ 02:25:36 PM in AEST
Topic: toughstuff

You walk into the store
Everyone stops and stares
You look around and hear whispers
The whispers say "she's new, what she like"?
They whisper and whisper

They order the newbie around
She feels like a chicken with her head cut off
They play pranks on her and make jokes

They make her do things
They wouldn't even do
She expects it, she knows whatever
They throw at her, she will do
It's an initiation, a hazing, a ritual
Everyone that's new has to go through it

They give you a nickname
As a passage of rights
Now she's one of them ohh boy
But she's still being whispered, whispered about
When will the newbie become an oldie?
When will the whispers become no more?

A good title for a good poem. It is strange but wherever one goes right through life there are always Newbies. At school, at work, even at play. If each Newbie was to remember what it was like in their own first days and weeks they would be able to stop such humiliating experiences, It is not funny to be a Newbie anywhere in this life.

Top marks for a new insight in daily living.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
