Give Me

A Poem by Ahmad Cox

Give Me

We live
In a give me
Society
Give me this
Give me that
We don't
Stop to think
How our
Give me attitudes
Effect everyone
Else around us
We don't stop
To think
About where
Our things go
We don't stop
To think
About the people
That are being
Affected the most
By our mass
Producing of 
Things we don't
Ultimately need
In the first place
We need to step
Away from
Our needless
Waste 
We need to
Start to 
Understand
We have more
Than we need
If we just use it
Correctly 
Its not about
Trying to see
Just how much
You can get
But seeing
How much 
You can give
We need to move
From a Give me this
Give me that 
Mentality to a 
Giving this
Giving that
Mentality 
So that we can
Start to live
In peace
And harmony
Openly sharing
With each other
Giving freely 
Sharing freely
Everything
We have
Leaving behind
Our Give me this
And Give me that
Mentality behind

An inspirational thought. We should that society was easy to achieve... Good write

We are so spoiled and have so much when many have so little. No one should have to go to bed hungry or go with a bed and roof over their head. There's a common decency that we all need to have as a part of our character.

People can be really selfish and greedy. There are people out there that do not have a great home and food or clothes. This is a truly great meaningful poem about all of this in life, you wrote about this subject so well. Enjoyed reading this. Really good.
