Array ( [sid] => 162303 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Doomed from the start [time] => 2010-09-13 11:26:26 [hometext] => Hi, so I don't know how good this poem is, I just wrote it now and thought I'd share it as it's something I'm feeling quite strongly about at the moment. [bodytext] => Why live in this world?
It's full of people screaming,
People begging for your help,
Floods of tears streaming,
Governments that are so corrupt,
They'll obliterate the world we know,
We'll witness so much war erupt,
But no one will say a word,
They wouldn't listen anyway,
We could shout so loud but never be heard,
Instead they pray to a God in paradise,
A God they no longer believe in,
The God that created this vice,
There's children dying,
Watching their parents murdered,
Actually killed for crying,
How can they kill over emotion?
Punish someone for having a heart,
Create such deadly commotion,
Raping the innocent,
Torturing the pure,
Is this how the world was to be meant?
No one cares,
No one cares,
No one cares,
Empty stares,
Possess the faces of all these people,
Their hollow eyes,
Pain so visibley exposed,
All we need is to believe the lies,
We'll be okay,
We'll be okay,
We'll be okay,
That's what they say,
But it's not true,
You'll all look back,
You'll realise you watched the world as it grew,
But now you're watching it fall apart,
Maybe none of us have a heart,
Maybe we were doomed from the start. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 215 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Bexstasy [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
Doomed from the start

There is alot of truth here
I do believe we were doomed from the start for it is writeen
but it doesn't mean we should not be aware
I'm sure you know many of us have hearts
but what's a heart when it's been broken time after time
Nicely written

I believe we are doomed. Great subject matter but your words could be switched around for more meaning, . Keep writing.

There is a lot of pain and suffering in the world, but also much beauty. Those that see beauty are beautiful.
