[hometext] => I wrote this poem thinking about what has been going on in this world today. what do you think?????????
[bodytext] => I checked in for a moment to see the world at hand and what I saw was shocking both here and distant lands The world is going crazy I think they've lost their minds To much information They cannot see the signs They will not let go of those who are gone Trying to make decisions they know inside are wrong Fighting a war they know we won't win Like Viet Nam all over again In sandy desserts where peace never reigned They send all our troops to die and be maimed They bow to a man They call him the pope Sit him in a window like a puppet on a rope He knew it was time He said his good-byes Like all of us mortals everyone dies This life that we live in sometimes makes no sense afraid of reality we live in pretense The music they're singing of greed and deceit as people are killed from hate on the streets The president says to save on our own There is no more money the economy's blown The pooer get poorer What's left for tomorrow We humble ourselves as we beg, steal and borrow Send us away Lock us up in a cell At least we are safe from this world gone to hell [comments] => 2 [counter] => 191 [topic] => 65 [informant] => bibi [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => toughstuff )
