Have you ever wondered why this day people feel alone? Is it because of our society's underlying tone? They say, "don't kill or take a poor soul's life" but then they fill our pockets with a gun and razor knife. They say size doesn't matter, we all are equal and free, but why everytime when I open "People" there is a model who wears size 3 They say that caring for your kids is what we do but then we see children with bruised eyes and a heart in two! They say teen's are fine, and by life's rules they abide but we see some filled with so much pain that they commit suicide We say they'll stop smoking if we up the age to 18 to sell a smoke but yet every minute a 10 year old will take a puff and choke We decided if schools passed out condoms, babies wouldn't come but yet pregnancy in teens is on a high for some *It's time to stop believing in all the things they say And view the world with open eyes as it exists today. The changes must come from within from folks like me and you And then perhaps the things they say may possibly come true. *Balladeer's ending [This message has been edited by Blondie (edited 04-11-2000).] |

Blondie - very nice poem! Maybe you could sum it up by saying something to the effect that the world is filled with hypocrisy, but we can change it - one person at a time - with our own actions.  Troy Beautiful, Thought-Provoking Poetry http://www.h-systems.net/p1.htm |

I don't have an idea for an ending but Melissa this is a great poem, I hope some of the Passion friends can help though. "If you live to be a hundred, I want to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you." |

I don't think there is an ending for this poem, cause every one of the things mentioned are very much still going on. I think this poem is a perfect display of our society, just the way it is....(my opinion) Jeffrey |

Blondie~ Your poem with Balladeer's ending ... says it perfectly. At least that's what I think. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
