[hometext] => A look at the true state of our world,WE CAN CHANGE IT.
[bodytext] => The leaders of tommorrow we mold in our todays.
In a world of violence and hunger we shape their very ways. Abuse it could be next door,close your eyes don't lend a hand Their's street gangs on your corner,weapons in demand. Newborns faced with habits,their forced to face today. Warheads in your backyard,more that face your way. Love could now be deadly,politics in disaray. Loan sharks in the highlife,the poor man pays their way. Tomorrow could be brighter,should man decide to try. Instead of just another day,where he made the children cry. Holes found in the ozone,an end to our blue skies? Chemicals run in the waters as our rivers die. Degrade and demoralize the homeless,show know sympathy. For what becomes of their lives,was soley meant to be. Lives end with now beginning, they never had a chance. Religion banned from school rooms,take a second glance. Their's oil on the beaches,the forests grow extinct. Farmers lose their homelands,concrete's far from extinct. Education takes a backseat in congressional policy. While workers lose their places,in a cutback society. God was gracious and tried twice at giving man a chance. Perhaps he's learning we can't succeed,if we mearly freelance. Schoolzones become warzones,the children take the blame. Perhaps the entertainers,should hang their heads in shame. What seems a one way road to nowhere,has many other paths. Where we lead the children,the lesson shall allways last. There's thunder in the mainstream,hells fire from below. Shall we build a brighter world,in which the children can grow?

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. ©
