What is this world coming to when you can't feel safe at school and then when you make it home There's no one to come home to? Why is it that one cannot find real love and true peace of mind? And has it always been this way- or symptomatic of the world's decline? Where is truth, I'd like to know so many lies just grow and grow it's hard to know who your true friends are and so don't dare let your feelings show. The question thus, comes down, you see What shall I do for reality? if I thus seek a better world-- I'll have to make it start with me! I seek to be me- and all I can be! |

This is very well written and I don't envy you being a kid in these times, but you are amazingly wise for someone of your generation. Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

Euclid~ With thoughts like those you've displayed here, I'd say this world just might come to a better place ! 'The question thus, comes down, you see What shall I do for reality? if I thus seek a better world-- I'll have to make it start with me!' Wonderful aspirations ! You CAN change the world ... one heart at a time.  Good luck in your quest ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Hey Euclid, Starting with you is a great idea! This poem is a sad depiction of the times we live in, but what a wonderful outlook... Very well written. Bonnie  [This message has been edited by BSC (edited 07-23-2000).] |

Hopefully your generation will realize that children and family are much more important than a fancy house, two cars and a hawaii vacation....none of that will be remembered in fifty years, but what will be remembered is that mom and dad weren't around...hopefully your generation will realize what really matters when you have kids of your own...Great Poem! You can never have too much fiction; reality can be such a bore |

Great poem, Euclid. If more people lived by the 'start with me' concept, the world would be a much better place. You CAN make it better. vlraynes |

The question that plagues what happened to old fashioned love. Great writing. Kevin "Anything is possible with patience, time is the tool use it to reach your goals." |
