Go, thought
On gilded wings.
Let the rain shine
Upon every face
And the sun
Shower its light
On every life.
Let those who
Cannot see
Open their eyes
To the unseen
And make those
Who can see
Wish they were blind.
Let those
Who cannot speak
Leave a gap in the world
That silences those
Who can move their lips
To the sound of recognition.
Let those
Who can feel
Every pain, every suffering
Feel no more
Except for the bliss
That surrounds them
Leaving the rest
Who live on greed
Grasp on to the dire need
For forgiveness.
Let those
Who cannot walk
Stand up with courage
And strength
So that no one else
Can bring them to their knees.
Go, thought
On gilded wings
Let there be sunshine
And rain
In the world.

i dunno what the note at the bottom had to do with anything, you don't need a big vocab to write beautiful poetry as you prove here. i have really liked the recent work you have posted, it has really been excellent writing. i look forward to reading more beautiful poetry from you

I liked this one a lot. You did well on this and the ending is great.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

The title was really captivating, and the poem certainly lived up to it. Excellent work!
