[hometext] => This is the second poem Ive written. Sorry if its not refined, but it comes from the heart
[bodytext] => The questions I have always swim through my mind I receive no straight answer, forced to leave it behind. “Why do I stuff my face, while some have none to eat?” They refuse to acknowledge me, and shuffle their feet. “Why does the television flicker hatred and lies?” They change the subject, and avoid your eyes. Why do greed, malice, and evil exist? The harder I push, the more they resist. Is it too much to investigate what burns in my heart? To understand the reasons these issues tear us apart? You don’t have to know every detail, every angle But at least attempt to help me untangle This web of wrongdoing, this labyrinth of lies Someone please help me take off the disguise And begin to understand, start to realize Why we substitute and for compromise. Palestinians and Israelis, “Their conflict is needed.” But one cannot live when the others succeeded. The s are rising, and so is the spite The problem is growing, with no end in sight Peace treaties and cease-fires mean nothing if ignored If the guns are removed, there will still be the sword People will kill their brothers just to retain their pride As long as the anger and hatred remains at their side These are just some of the problems at hand With no one around me to take a stand All I can do is sit and watch these people suffer and die And hope that someone out there can answer me… “Why?” [comments] => 2 [counter] => 145 [topic] => 41 [informant] => Matteo93090 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
