The Power Of Love

I wrote this poem after watching my local news. A young girl was taken hostage, along with her own family, by her step-father. He then continued to hold them all at gun point for almost 5 hours, before the step-father finally decided to commit suicide. Th

 

Living your life a lie, is never the life you want to live

People come, People go, People forget, and People forgive

But the thing that matters most, is your freedom to dream

The freedom to spin, the freedom to skip, the freedom to imagine, and the freedom to scream

But over the years, people began to have hatred towards love

But because love is pure, and love is as beautiful as a mourning dove

It captivates our soul, and allows us to escape

As it burns within our minds, dying to take shape

Then people developed selfishness, ignoring this wonderful gift

A gift that's consumed in all of us, yearning to become adrift.

But I believe this world can still change if you use the things we used to enjoy

By that I mean the power of Love,Peace,Happiness and Joy

That if we were to sometimes drop our pride, and just walk out the door

Than our Grand-Kids could see a world without all the Terror and all the War

And Oil would cheapen, and Gas prices would lower

And our Natural Resources could be saved, and the Pregnant Rate would become slower

We'd begin to have hope that the World would become more real

And the people that lived on this beautiful Planet, would also become ideal

Because if we worked together, and worked as one

Than we wouldn't have soldiers across the world, being threatened with bombs and guns

But just remember, that our lives are being watched by the Big Guy up above

And he's waiting to watch a change happen, when we realize the Power of Love
