Array ( [sid] => 26131 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Life [time] => 2003-10-31 05:45:17 [hometext] => This poem was written by me witnessing wealthy and poor living side by side each other..it also indicates crime amongst our children.. It will surley make you think...just never say it wont happen to you.. [bodytext] => Understanding may be demanding
But it must be everything,
In this crazy world we live in
The rich is getting richer,
The poor is getting poorer
Whats the solution,
To save our future.
Why are our parents in denial
Why are the children running wild,
Who is trying to stop this crime
Who is trying to save a childs life,
Its very important
that we take a stand,
To appreciate each other
And to stand hand in hand,
Black or white
Religion or race,
We must learn to live
With peace and grace,
We are born to regret
we are born to forget,
I believe life is a test
If this is true,
Why are we all failing it ?
Take a few minutes
And listen to me,
Look all around and
Tell me what do you see,
In this crazy world
We live in,
Understanding may be demanding
Never say it wont happen to me.. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 249 [topic] => 43 [informant] => devine_xox [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Very good work!
Sad but true!
If we all found our own ways 2 peace with others lives can and will change.
it only takes one writing to start a chain reaction in a good way!
My Dr. use 2 tell me I couldn't change the world! I wouldn't attempt to try!
I can change myself and if one person takes something from each writing then my world is good!
Course my Doc, wasn't thinking much about the world wide web then.
My whole point being, that we never really know jus how our writings like this can touch a heart-n-soul. Even if they don't take time to comment doesn't mean that they aren't reading and getting strength from our words.
Great work!
peace, joy, luvl

I was going to joke after some of it and still will. I liked the write very much though. I do indeed agree. However it also reminded me of those damn kids on Jerry Springer and so on. I did like the poem though. Hopefuly some will take it to heart that hate but most would not. Sad truths. Then again maybe it will just take one final thing.
