[title] => Every of the living should dream, for without dreaming this world is not living.
[time] => 2011-12-14 15:57:41
[hometext] => Spread the word & not the virus.
[bodytext] => A world filled with many dreams To live, to win, to grow But what about the other side, the side of poverty Where the solemn child cries for a non-existent parent On our side a child cries for what he wants What about what another needs Tears overflow the eyes of a mother; As she holds her child for a last few seconds Hoping, praying For a better world, For her unprotected young What about the drugged up kid on the corner The corner of life and death Did he ever have parents? Family? Friends? Now his another one of the lost You see the casualties of life Are much larger than the casualties of war Reflection of errors has potential to save the lives of many But still you kill Kill for your own wants In the name of a country Or a religion that is sworn against killing Young children are taught “Think before you act or speak” Whilst our leaders, our role models Act without thinking For all our people to see Maybe a child would be better suited, Or maybe peace would be more tolerated. So many religions Each has their god In times of need which will you turn to? Or maybe we should take responsibility Responsibility for our own actions and words Forget about the religions And try living with your own right and wrong For without religion there would be nothing Nothing to separate the races, Therefore nothing to start a war And nothing to say that the poor or the different, Do not deserve as good a life as you A valley once full of lush plantation, Sky once that, sky blue Now lays a place avoided to any living The corpses of many lay in the mud The Jewish, the Nazis They lay to rest together At peace at last We start a fight that could last for eternity Another mess left for the young of society; How are they supposed to settle with the world? When they are already left in the messes of past All those men die for vain What gives a leader the right to seal his fate? Millions of dollars spent on armies, While we leave our own people They are poor and dying, Yet still we are full of greed and naiveté’s What if it was you, No money, No life And no help from any of the countries, Countries that instead cause more destruction through war NASA spends millions, searching for other worlds Whilst the children waste away in our own world What happened to our priorities? Even a blind man could see This is no way to run a world Turn to any of your “gods” Surely he does not agree with this either Are the people we call heroes really worthy? What about the kids in Afghanistan You can only imagine what they see, How hungry they are No water Yet they still push on And hold their families and friends up Is that not a job worthy of a hero? Yet we push these people away like they aren’t even human We have so far to come Not even close to total peace Maybe in 2012 if the world did end It would be better, We could start again [comments] => 2 [counter] => 159 [topic] => 19 [informant] => Damian [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => InspirationalPoems )

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. ©
