It isn’t death, or suicide.
It cant be done with guns or knives.
Its not the words that make us cry.
Its not the cheat, its not the lies.
Its not the children that were sent
To die in wars we cant forget.
Its not the drugs that we once tried.
Nor that madman who’s killed some lives.
Its not that thief who stole your pearls.
Nor the corruption in this world.
Its not the million lives that died,
Nor the others that survived.
Its not your work, that keeps you chained
Twenty-four hours a day.
It is us who haven’t tried
To stop and think about our lives.
Cause it isn’t written in the law.
Its buried somewhere inside our heart.
D’you know what is the greatest crime?
That we never find the time, to love.
It’s the greatest crime of all time.

i have to disagree with not loving being the greatest crime of all, as i am very cinical about love and all that stuff, but i did like the poem.
it was a good read and i even thought i do not agree, it was entertaining and heartfelt and that to me is very important, the fact i could feel what you where trying to portray.
good write
