"Bang!" I hear, lost is another life. "Bye" I hear, man walks out on his wife. "It happpens" I hear, there's nothing to fear. "No" I said, yet not one will hear. Nothing good is coming to help the world In which kids die and men rape girls. No matter how deep the pain may travel People are shot dead left on the gravel. I watch from a distance totally scared And I'll never be truly prepared, When I hear in the news someone I loved Died tragically when push came to shove. I don't want kids to be raised in hell, I want them to learn how to read write and spell. I can't change the big things only the small, Yet one day I know I too will fall. Into the darkness the world is in I want to help but where do I begin. I don't know where to start or where to end, I'll try my best to protect my friends. From a world full of hate, depression and greed, I'll help the world if I'm told what it needs. 'I once picked a daisy's petals searching for an answer. I went through 10 daisy's before getting the answer I was looking for...I love you.' |

this is a very good poem. you have captured the fears and frustration we feel living in these often angry and uncertain times. I really like the way you expressed these feelings. I love the emotions of the ending. Janet Marie |

Sad reflection on the real world. You know what the world needs? More poets....write what's in your soul and you will ease some of the sadness...bring light to the darkness and make the world a better place to live. |

I couldn't have said it any better than Poet Devine. Perhaps if your write this, more will read it, and it will make them think, and make a small difference. Differences and change always start small but they do blossom and grow. Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely. ~Isis~ (Sovereign of the Spirit) |
