Voiceless

Think for yourself, think of others.

Voiceless

 

Walking through the light of life,

We realise what we have become.

We are killers, cannibals and murderous beasts,

Look what we have done.

 

Wars are raged, lost and rarely won,

Lives lost by knife or sword or gun.

Blood spilt on land, sea or in air.

Turn the other cheek, no one cares.

 

We can’t cure poison from another’s mind,

But we can purify our own.

We can also express our emotions,

And make our feelings known.

 

We try to impress our generation,

We try to impress our race.

We should just try to be unique,

And walk at our own pace.

It has good depth and inspires thought, some of your wording choices are unique "the light of live" is creative. Not sure I like being part of the human race as you say "We are killers, cannibals and murderous beasts" although the cannibal thing I question :0 My favorite part "We can’t cure poison from another's mind, But we can purify our own." This is a great line. For me your poem lacks flow because every line is so powerful they stand alone as statements. I liked it and hope everyone takes time to read it!

I really liked this! wars are never won by either side..unless it is for freedom...those who impress their generation never try, they just do by their actions.

Wow, this poem really gives you a lot to actually think about, as the human race and what we have become. These lines " We can’t cure poison from another’s mind,
But we can purify our own.
We can also express our emotions,
And make our feelings known." Were excellently written. I really enjoyed this

no wars were ever won.

I really like the poem. The overall structure was well-written. The message, a universal truth. Very imaginative. Very poetic, as it should be.
