Take a stand...

If we don't see it, doesn't mean it's not happening...

Take a stand...

Tears fall from an abused wife's eyes as she cries
out loud but they never hit the ground,

Trees of the forest are being ravished by the thousands
but yet we don't hear the sounds,

Men and Women go to war to return home to
be treated poor,

Several things are happening around us that we
do not see first hand and the government likes that
it's apart of their corrupt plan,

We are all intelligent well read, written and spoken people
and we know that this corruption takes place,
It is a down right disgrace,

If we don't unite and take a stand, they will continue
there destructive plan and our children will be left to
pay for their greedy mistakes, while the world around
us disintegrates,

We must grab one another's hands and make a valid
stand, to do what is right in Gods sight and his perfect plan,

We can't set back and do nothing and expect something
if we keep letting them pull our strings, this world
could be heading to a new world order by 2019...

There is very much abuse in this land, not just to women and children but to the land and the forests. My sisters family own a cabin and land in the upper peninsula. Last fall neighboring lands were stripped of all timber up to and past their property line. Now their hunting property is partly stripped and only a law suit with a major lumber contractor will straighten it out. Who would bet on our family winning or getting a decent price if they sell?

Very powerful message. I will try not to rant on but this is so true today. We are so far removed from each other not just on a a higher level but even just right on our doorstep. What happened to love thy neighbor? People turn a blind eye to everything now a days with the attitude well its isn't hurting me so why bother. I have seen so many children completely neglected and there is no way the neighbors, friends or family members have not noticed this! arrhhghggh makes me so mad sorry...i said i wouldn't rant but i did!
On a happy note this was an AWESOME piece JAMES!!

I dread the New World Order. Already what is going on in this world is such havoc, but with that it will be chaos. You are a good leader! Your words are that of a true leader.

Sometimes hard to know which way to turn for the best; certainly turning the other cheek, (the most peaceful and desired option as far as I'm concerned,) doesn't really seem to work. This poem poses a big question, the answer is still awaited. T

Very important message
But new world order by 2019?

Like things are not being run from on high right now?
They are already in charge pal
It just suits them for you to think nothings changed
Keep writing

[Jamestown]

Yeah I know what you mean, my purpose really is to say wake up, just
because we don't see it doesn't mean it's not happening, thanks again for checking it
out and b-blessed!

Did you mean "out loud" in the second line? "out load" doesn't make much sense to me...
I would switch "poor" to "treated poorly", it just seems to flow better for me...
In line 11...I suggest changing "corrupt stuff" to "corruption". I think it fits better with the message you are trying to send over the word "stuff"...
In line 14...it's "their" not "there"...
In line 15...it should be "their" again, not "there"...
In line 19...did you mean "sit back"? That plays better to me...

Sorry for all the corrections, I can be a bit of a nazi when it comes to that stuff. Overall, I loved the piece. It has a great message behind it and you have a very persuasive way with words. Keep writing, I love reading your work :)

[Jamestown]

Thanks for checking it out and your helpful hints, you are hired I can't pay much

We all have to come together, even a single person making a move could prove beneficial. An inspiring poem yet again :) But why is it 2019 that is mentioned in your poem?

[Jamestown]

2019 is only 4 short years away and at the rate negative energy is rolling
down hill like a snow ball effect it's gaining much weight and will crash
sometime soon and I believe that crash is in the near future,thanks for checking it out and b-blessed!

[Madhu]

Oh I see, so that's the reason for mentioning 2019. Hoping that new peaceful years come soon :)

[Jamestown]

That is correct, I long for happiness for all:)
