I sit at my dest
With a hand full of clay
Didn't know what I was making
So I let my hands play.
Pound after pound
Slap after slap
Hit after hit
Tap after tap.
The shape starts to form
Right in front of my eyes
2 hands holding a ball
I press it together softly but tight.
I draw on the lines
That separate the sea from the land
I wasted my time, put in my devotion,
Gave in my sould, used all the straingh up in my hands.
I look at my project
As it sits there on my desk
I knew there was somethingmissing
Whatever it was, wish there was someone i coul ask.
I added peace and love
But hate and violence tore it apart
And when I found my work shattered into pieces
It really broke my heart.
I start to glue the pieces together
And this is what I see
Masters of deception
Bringing forth corruption and poverty.
With there'd be something I can do
And I know I can, but yet I can't
I'll have to start anew
And give it a total repaint.
They say that life is a work of art
Created by the one that lives on these lands
Well then if thats true
Then why cant we live our lives peacefully?
Like the ball placed in those 2 precious hands?

Well, Lil, it would be easier for me to read if you worked on the typing a little. But I like the poem itself, and the sentiment expressed too.
