Do You Really Want This War to Survive

You say you care

For the millions that died

Yet you refuse to take a stand

 

This world is crumbling

And your its savior

Yet again you refuse to take a stand

 

It really doesn’t bother you

Wish I could find it to be untrue

Yet its our cruel way

 

It’s human nature

To only fight for yourself to survive

But without you this world will surely die

 

So I ask you will you fight

For this world to survive

Or do you really wanna die

Do you really want this war to survive

 

A million plus two will die

Before you understand

These two are me and you

 

But the difference between you and I

Is I will fight to make a change

While you will lay there

Waiting for this change

 

But the world needs both of us

To make this change

To advance this human race

So why don’t you fight make a change

Help your brother survive

Make this world survive

I swear it’ll take you and I

Yeah man, that is how the world is. We just don't care.

[G. Marie"floating on an..]

looks like you and me are on the same page I like the message you are giving here awesome I just posted a similar poem what a coincidence!! we can never repeat enough the message of peace and change. only one little critique, maybe you should break this up into verses as it would be easier to read and get your point across better. loved it

I can't really say I'm inspired. Near as I can see, you have exactly one spelling mistake (your for you're) so that's good, but I really don't think this is a standpoint you want to leave at this. Yeah, okay, you're an advocate for change, good for you. When I saw that everyone calls you 'Hippy' I suppose I should have expected this.

I'm not sure what it is that makes me dislike this; I think I was just expecting more than the tired argument of 'you can make a difference'. Though I am reminded of a quote, and so to show what limited respect I have for the idea, I'll leave you with it.

I like the message but the rhyming is repetitive for me when the same words are used. Overall I like it. Well done.

The meaning behind this poem is awsome! I can feel your expression and it caused me to examine the subject more! Great poem-

This is a really good poem. Its rhythm and repitition of words like "change" and "survive" really help it flow. Great job! Keep it up!
