The Other Wes Moore Characterization Sonnets
Wes Moore:
A young boy, who lost thou father,
No longer had a light to look up to,
In the Bronx, where no drugs or crime came to bother,
For a time where his mother could say grief adieu.
Finally Wes hath moved to military school,
Whither bravery and courage art tested.
And the only lodging Wes hadst been with ground rules,
At last his drug and crime spirit hath rested.
The school had separated him from the dark,
Where he had once been,
Destined to beest hath carried by fate's hark bark,
Which saved his grieving mother and likewise kin.
A knave turned to sir shown light,
Wes has beaten the hasty burial site.
The Other Wes Moore:
An innocent boy at heart,
Father, a name that gent nev'r hath learned,
Living with mother and Tony who hath not given him a fresh start,
His brother only looks behind himself, with a behold of unconcern.
Yet his brother told him to depart from his footsteps,
But that Wes didst not hark and hath kept selling his life away,
The path to prison innocent Wes Moore kept,
It seems as if fate had taken his life astray.
Thy tough demeanor pulled him down,
Farther away from the point of return,
Soon Wes was about to drown,
Setting his future on fire to burn.
A story that ends in gore,
Starts with a name, Wes Moore.
