[hometext] => This is what a lot of people my age are probably feeling...this is my first poem ever...ADULTS: read it and realize that you're children know what's going on out there...
[bodytext] => Why can’t everyone get along? I just don’t see why that’s so wrong. We argue about the small stuff, While trying to act, oh so tough. Why can’t hatred and war cease? So we can all just live in peace. The youth of our nations cry. We all don’t really want to die! This is our plea… We just want to be able to run free. We don’t want to face war, Every time we try a new door. It all begins to cloud my mind, I’m afraid of the future for what I might find. On our own we make no gain, But God above sees our pain. He loves us all, And all our names he tries to call. He constantly tries to relieve, Even though not all believe. You may not understand too clearly, But He loves us all quite dearly. I was born into this place, Never guessing what I must face. The man on TV tells me, What our world has come to be. Love is gone, replaced with hate, Just perhaps, this is my fate. Those who came before this generation, Must have already chosen our destination. It isn’t fair, But do they care? Obviously not, Cause if they did, they would have fought, For the very best for you and me; And not have left us here to be. But this is my life and I’ll live it well, Cause I don’t want to burn in hell. I had no choice, But one day they’ll hear my voice. Saying out into the crowds, That have all gathered ‘round. The youth of the nations will cry out, Everyone will hear us shout. “Let us be free! Please, I beg of thee, We are the youth of tomorrow, But our hearts are filled with sorrow. So why can’t hatred and war cease, So just for a moment, we can all experience real, live, peace?” [comments] => 7 [counter] => 232 [topic] => 57 [informant] => sarah_may [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => war )

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. ©
