Why do people say the world is sad

made it that way.

Whenever you hear someone cry it's
because of something they've done
or that someones done it to them.

Why cant the world be full of good
things and warm hearts?

If only I had the anwser 's to solve all
the riddles life brings my way.

Why cant the world be good and the
people in it better?

Instead of solving problems people
are out hurting and murdering each

the world just be a better place. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 259 [topic] => 8 [informant] => StarViolet [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 14 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AmericanTragedy )

I absolutly agree! It's ashame we can't live peacefully and it isn't as though it is impossible! This world will just fade away if we keep acting this way. Overall, a really good poem!! Keep writing.

A nice Write ask he one question everyones got an answer for but no-one can whole heartedly say is correct, why?

I agree with alot you said, there is so much anguish, murder, pain suffering in this world and we all wonder why we cant live peacefully

But you've got to remember that its these sad times and bits of pain that make the good times so special without them they would all feel the same, just like light cannot exist without dark and hate cannout exist wihtout love.

I like the sytle because its original and its different to things i have been reading of late and definately gives some change to a status quo of writes i have been reading of late

Excellently written and very thoughtout

Very nice poem. I really enjoyed this one. And why can't the world be a better place? I believe it's because of peoples differences, but, without differences everything would be the same. What people could besides fighting with those who differ from them is to learn from those who differ from them, ya know? What people can do is learn to not judge people because race, nationality, religion, etc. Basically all we need to do is "learn how to love, and forget how to hate" (that quote was taken from Ozzy's Crazy Train)

I really like this poem! 5 out of 5! Keep up the good work!

Much Love,
Bones
