Depression

• Artist: A_Shade_of_Gray
• Description: This was something I had to do in 9th grade called a found poem. It is a poem you make by taking quotes from other sources. We had to copy the quote exactly as it was written, so the grammar in the poem isn't correct, sorry about that. The sources that were used for this poem were from interviews by people who lived during the depression, so that is why I imagine I called it depression.

Dark wuz the night cold wuz de groun’
The night my own grandson robbed me here
Dark wuz the night cold wuz de groun’
Sometimes I gits hongry I wish to die
Dark wuz the night cold wuz de groun’
I’s loaned him as much as ten dollars at times
Dark wuz the night cold wuz de groun’
He ain’t neber give me a quarter see
Dark wuz the night cold wuz de groun’
And he had it when I asked for one quarter

Dark wuz the night cold wuz de groun’
It was fortunate that death came swiftly
Dark wuz the night cold wuz de groun’
Soon men we’re at work with shovels filling
Dark wuz the night cold wuz de groun’
Aunt Amy’s earlier life was like
Dark wuz the night cold wuz de groun’
Something out of the worst pages of Stowe
Dark wuz the night cold wuz de groun’
It was Cannibalistic like Terrapin
Dark wuz the night cold wuz de groun’
The babies have to get out of the way
Dark wuz the night cold wuz de groun’
For the mothers will eat them immediately

Dark wuz the night cold wuz de groun’
Their babies are still healthy and fat
Dark wuz the night cold wuz de groun’
Ef dy sacred will move dis bitter cup
Dark wuz the night cold wuz de groun’
Blood in drapes en sweat run down move dis cup
Dark wuz the night cold wuz de groun’
Everybody is in a bad fix move dis cup
Dark wuz the night cold wuz de groun’
Old people ain’t got no purpose living
Dark wuz the night cool wuz de groun’
They sang together in wonderful harmony

It's really good, and the grammar makes it sound more realistic.
