Make the children stop crying

The world is in despair,

Children crying,

Like many others,

They are alone.

 

Such evil shouldn't exist,

Yet our lives include it,

Those children still cry,

Crying over broken futures,

Broken hearts,

Damaged dreams.

 

The tears fall,

Rivers run from these,

Too many tears,

Too young.

 

Naive people,

Ignoring the screams,

Letting evil continue,

In its destruction.

 

Make the children stop crying.

 

The world is in despair,

Children crying,

Like many others,

We are alone.

I loved your poem, as it so perfectly describes the times we're living in. Where the world is hurting so, so many people with lost hopes and dreams, so many who've lost their homes their jobs, and loved one's as well, to senseless wars and environmental changes brought on through polution and fossil fuels. The earth is weeping and so many seem to turn a deaf ear to it all. But if we who do care cry out loud enough, maybe, just maybe the forces that be will finally take notice. Then and only then can change occur, and once more mother earth will smile once again and rejoice with those who did care and bring about change. Is this but a dream? Maybe, but oh what if. Nicely done Blueberry kisses.

gorgeous writing

And alone we will remain. Violence is all around us, destructive nature is within all of us. We are destroying our own lands, killing the one world we know we can exist on and we don't care.

Great write.

If only we could protect the innocent more, the rivers run with the tears of children. Deep and moving poem my friend.
