We Real Cool

This poem was short but has a strong meaning to it. The poem relates to the seven pool players that dropped out of school. The poem states "We Left School." (Brooks 2) The seven kids that left school thought that they are cool but are not. This kind of life style of partying and playing pool, does not lead to anywhere but an unheathly life style. We see this when Brookes writes "We Die soon." (Line 8) There daily carefree life seems to them that they are cool, but their cool life style only leads to death.
