''56''

The culture of peace
Has slowly subsided
Tyranny has finally
Rendered it silent
Commotion
In the streets below
No emotion
In the faces I used to know
History books offer
Descriptive reminders
Of a stolen past
Left far behind us
A simpler time
Of women and love
All that seemed to matter
Was if the sun rose above
Poets, philosophers,
Intellectuals and such
Quickly turn to dictators
Unruly oppressors, to power they clutch
Rioting in the streets
Police hold their ground
Stomping feet
Revolution is just around-
Around the sharp corner
I can be found alone
Writing and thinking
Of my essence with scorn
My thoughts may not count
My soul may be bare
In My dream of dreams
We cant yet be there

Hmm this one made me think of the places where the fighting and uncertainly of what tommorrow brings. For those countries, in the pangs of turmoil and so Desperate in need of Humanity to take a step up.
Nice write. Good write to make this reader think and get their own meaning of what you are saying.

Hmmm feelings of nostalgia for the past, and now devoid of emotion...(?) Perhaps I've analyzed too many poems tonight : )
I do get the sense that this is more a personal write, than feelings on a social scale...Good flow with some natural rhymes, and some less obvious ones. Good write.
What does the 56 stand for?
