I was awoken by a dream,
Just the other night.
The horror that I saw,
Really was a fright.

The dying and the suffering,
The blood and the tears.
These kind of actions,
Are our greatest fears.

Innocent people,
**** dead in the street.
When ever in the world,
Will our bloody ends meet?

Children are suffering,
From peoples pety hate.
When will it all stop,
For we haven't got time to wait.

Protests and rallies,
Not many do the trick.
For only a handful consider,
The majority give the flick.

So as you can see,
My dream was quite a scare.
The only problem is,
That is is a reality nightmare.

Life is a reality that is often hard or hurtful.  You can make a difference, through poetry like this, showing people the problems out there.  Or joining an organisation even if only as a volunteer to help the needy.  I did it for years, very rewarding and will be doing it again.
Great piece

this is good,,full of strong emotions and imagery..and unfortunatly...a lot of reality...sometimes we have to try to find a light, hiding behind the shadows.
take care, janet marie

 Some things cannot be explained by verses that rhyme,
They are not measured by the commitment of time.
Some emotions run too deep to be described by words,
Forgiveness and understanding-
remain the most beautiful words ever heard.

Yes reality can be very depressing if we dwell on the evil in this world.  I enjoyed the reality of your poem.  James

This is so true!  I get so angry thinking about all the hurt and suffering in this world.  This piece really puts the spotlight on it!

Very, very true.  If you just take the time to look at the world from the outside...it's horrible visions come to you.  There definately is a lot of hate in the world we live in today.  You stated your poem wonderfully.  DayDreamer
