[hometext] => Even though we might live in a terrible place we could be the light which blocks out the darkness
[bodytext] => I lookout into the city and what do I see Pain,suffering, and misery The situation continues to get worse People living to die so what is it all worth Mother's struggling to feed their children Praying for the day their struggle will end But until then They must continue to contend With this cruel reality called life Where the righteous are struck down for doing what's right Tears flow from my eyes as I watch the children weep Not knowing if they'll live to see next week Our city is in flames A place where nothing seems to change The only way out is through fortune or fame So I ask what do you gain From living in a place where death lurks every corner Where making it to 16 not for sure I try to look away but I can't stop looking At the place I call home which sees me as nothing Another statistic a burden to society Money is a great necessity But above all knowledge is key So as for me I want to inspire change Rescue the fallen from the city in flames [comments] => 2 [counter] => 152 [topic] => 19 [informant] => darkknight [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [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. ©
