As I sit and listen to the rain pour down I feel nothing. There are no thoughts within my head except for Nature and the Earth herself. So many have lived and so many have died Believing the same or believing different It doesn't matter a bit. The generations are as waves on the oceans continous and neverending forever rolling. So many problems, but do we listen? Do we open our minds and hearts to let the Rainbow of uniqeness and individuality shine? So many times we close out the world Not willing to see the pain nor hear the Cries for mercy. We surround ourselves with the horrors of this world and so desensitize ourselves. "It doesn't really matter anymore" is the unspoken message; It's on the Six PM news but so is everything else... Why does one more person matter?" How many stories of sadness and pain are in the news... How many stories of happieness and love...? Why have we become this way? Must we hate others because they're different? Forty years ago was supposedly the beginning of a new era... Peace and love to you, brother... I now see only hate... And yet the waves on the oceans keep rolling |

"It's on the Six PM news but so is everything else..." This is my favorite line, simple words, strong meaning, although I'll have to say that I lost myself in the thought of what seems like a "critique" towards society in away, (death in the news everyday, etc)and the emotion of hate which is portrayed as the daily world. Excuse me if I sound incoherent but this is what I thought and between no sleep and just seeing "From Hell" this is what came to mind. Good poem. -C.M. |

Thanks you guys! It's amazing what I can come up with at 3:00 in the morning, eh? I don't know... I was just really... blah about the whole September 11 thing, and getting fed up with the attitude at my school. Glad you liked it though! Thanks again! ~I am a computer genius... Hey! How do you turn this thing on?!? |
