Destination 21

I have been looking through peoples older stuff and commenting on the one with the title that catches my eye and of course his one was one of those.

For some reason the title drew me in and initially I thought it was literally about a journey on a bus labelled 21 and how wrong I was though it was about life's journey ending way too soon....

This really gave me Goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes because 21 is no age to die at all in any circumstance but it seems with all the wars, terror attacks and violence in general many innocent children die in the crossfire which is devastating. I think one day we will all be wiped out because it seems to get worse and worse each month.

You did a unique job of explaining life needs to be lived (basically) because none of us know when our time is and I am glad this made front page.

This poem tugged at my heart. It brought out all of the emotions associated with the loss of life too soon. Thank you for sharing.

This truly makes one think how tragic live is to humans all over the world. I was curious about the title since I'm 21 and after I read this deeply motivating poem, I'm tempted to start praying right about because I am thankful I have made this far in life unlike some children that know they don't see themselves being twenty-one due to the location of where they live or because of the domestic abuse they withstand. Really opens the eyes of a person that doesn't see this kind of situation in their every day life, and those that do it makes them simply acknowledge it and keep on living. Really beautiful and surreal of how people view the world, great job at portraying this.
