The World Where Everyone Looks Down Into the Dark

People are always the ones to look up at the majestic light glowing above us. This describes the world where the big light looks down upon us.

I am human

So are you

You wouldn't be reading this

If it weren't true.

If you are a person

You look up to a light.

(I do too)

Think of what it might do.

The power that we see

The power that we feel

Looks down at we

Whose ignored what's real

The real truth

Is that other beings

Have souls too

Attention that we're not paying

And it's not just a ball of light

It's a whole world

It seems so bright

With our bodies coiled

Our society tells us

That looking to the sky

Means we're curious

Means we can fly

Haha, idiots.

Do you even know?

There are beings up there

Whose laughter shows

We feel it when there's thunder

And an earthquake, too

That's when we've blundered

Done something we'll rue

They point and scream

They forever stare

It's like a dream

It isn't fair

No, it isn't

While we are stupid

They are intelligent

We're like kids

But not only are we amusing

We are fascinating

For the one thing

They don't always need

Is love.

And while they shout.

While they may chortle

The snickers are snuffed out

Their eyes grow wide

Their ears turn on

They don't want us to hide

They can't see love if we run

But I just wanted you know

What may look like a spark

What makes our cave glow

Is the world

where everyone

looks down

into the

dark

I really want your comments. There is a certain feeling that just makes my day when I see at the top of my computer screen a little piece of paper and a pencil (without a green arrow). I <3 it! So please. Thanx :)

Regardless of how well the emotion strings everything together, I'm not sure I like the placement of the components of this poem. I feel that your mind was racing with far too many thoughts that it is capable of, though I know your heart is in the right place.

thank you, and I know what you mean. I'll try to spiff it up a little. You are right, I was exploding with poetry I didn't have the time to make it neat
