"Let me die a young man's death"
This poem was pretty awseome in my opinion. Whoever the speaker is, he does not want to die in bed somewhere or in peace. He wasnts to die doing something crazy and spontanious. I can understand where he is coming from, but really would have to disagree. I really do not want to get run over by a sports car when im in my seventies. That would suck. His family just better hope he has life insurance casue funerals are very expensive. But the poem is very shoking becasue I did not think anyone really wanted to die like that.

J man,
when i responded to this poem i said the exact opposite of what you said in your response. i would want to die doing something crazy like the reasons the author gave. i would hate to be wasting away from old age like a vegetable in bed. so sorry J man im gonna have to disagree with everything you said.
I totally agree. I really like this poem because of the way he talks about his life. He doesn't want to live a simple, boring, "regular" life. He wants a fun filled extravagant life. He doesn't want to die in bed at home having done nothing with his life. I would also have to say a majority of the people would like to live their lives this way. I know I want to have an amazing life, and I believe I will. Writing a poem about how you want your future to be is a really good idea. Going back and reading that in 30 years and seeing how it turned out would be pretty cool.
