A Poet that Prays

I look at everything around me
And what do I see?
Family killin’ Family
All of this happening yearly

I see children
Being abused
Family doesn’t believe them
All that I’m sayin’ is the Truth

I see pregnant teenagers
And irresponsible fathers
I see mothers struggling to make ends meet
Who are living on the streets.

I see people being hated
For whom they choose to love
Isn’t that judgment for the God above?
People think they cannot be trusted
Just for having a another opinion
The world hisses
At those who are different
The world shuns
Those who don’t run
And so the wave of hatred has begun

I see mothers cry
Who lost their children in a pointless war
Their memory has left a scar
That no one can heal
A mother that didn’t get a chance to say goodbye

I see people who turn to depression
Who’ve been broken
Who don’t know how to deal
Who don’t want to feel

I feel like I want to fix everything
But the world is not going to be immaculate
All I know is that this poet,
Is just going to keep praying.

Always,
   Kai (a.k.a. precious pearls)

Dear Kai,

My frog-poem offer still stands.


I like this poem.

I love my dog, and my truck. It's that simple, really.

And may you never lose this desire to change things for the better!

I join my voice with yours in prayer. May the awakening to Love continue.

I appreciated your well written poem.

Love,
Margherita
