Brave

Brave

 

A flame of rebellion scorches the ground,

As bullets are shot, flying across the smoky skies,

Rivers crash, the wind blows,

I creep away, on tiptoe,

 A war breaks out in every footstep I take,

Until I walk in a path of destruction,

The shadows of my own are no longer company,

But the villains of my haunting dreams.

I have ran and I have fled; There's no way

To rid myself of the feeling of dread.

A narrow tunnel, stretched miles long,

Is my only escape to a world of unknown.

I put faith on the light, milleniums away.

A sight of pure hope, that brightens my day.

I look straight to the end,

For I know this is my only way.

I embrace my abounding fear,

I will be brave.

There is a sense of innocence adorning this piece that enhances its talent, and its charming qualities. The words are a wine or a fine vinyl that speaks to our emotions, and its driving humanistic quality is excellent. It is a beautiful poem with a lot of substance.

Review for Change the World Comp.

I like this, though I may have put a pause after the first four lines as this is an excellent entrance to this work. I re-wrote this entire piece because it intrigued me so much and there are so many avenues that this could have gone down, I love that notion. There are hints of frustrated isolation in this work that stress how fragile that hope of salvation is. Very brave write, thank you

[Anna]

The wars we constantly wage tell a tale of nothing but woe.It is a horrible waste of resources and men. I wish your generation knew how horrible and refused to participate

[Anna]

I agree, thank you for your review.

Anna! It is really the youth who must revolt and revolution IZE the world, since nobody else is going to do it.

Bravo, I liked this ideal, this aspiration for change and for the future.

The more sick our world, the more idealism makes sense, a pity 85% of humanity have become cynical realists. So morbid!
