Life Evades Us

Life evades us.
The truth hides from us.
Love runs from us.
We are the cause for our own demise.
For the anger and the greed to rise,
It was us, and us alone who gave permission,
And put charity and kindness into remission.
I fear we have become too broken to mend
And that our world is soon to end.
Yes, this problem is well known.
It has been no one's fault but our own.
Yet, we are too busy blaming others for the problems we created to even care
About our world that's dying, so quietly and unaware.

short and sweet, i'm lovin' it. it's simple, because what more can you really say? my favorite poetry is that which has a point and sticks to it. It's obvious this piece wasn't forced, that the words just flowed down onto the paper, keyboard, whatever. Bravo.

Amen Music.....AMEN!
Particularly the blue suit brigade in league with Timothy Giethner.
A national disgrace for the US and a laughing stock in Europe!!

[SoulCrusader (Yas)]

Very deep I find this one is...tells some deep humanistic stuff..very wise poem!!!

[Kenneth The Poet]

Wow. I can likely see where you get your inspiration from (geographically speaking). Not a bad piece in the least.

Your words are true in this poem. We must accept part of the blame for the good and the bad in this world. I tell the kids. Know what is going on in your world. Protect nature and the natural resources.

For the anger and the greed to rise,"
A few years ago. Bush's open up the forest of Oregon and Washington state to the men who make profit in cutting down trees. No-one try to stop him. Someone should of told Bush. We need clean air to survive. Than you for this poem. You open the door to real questions and problems. A excellent poem.

Strong poem and the way you put it makes sense. Life evades us because we need to learn on our own the things life offer and what effects it can have. We have to comprehend and if we blame it on others, we will never know the meaning of life.

[Rene Velez]

Good rhyme scheme and true words, things are bad, It's times like these that make you aware of humanity...

[WatashLegend]

There is integrity in this honesty. Many truths that act like thread and a needle sew there way into the reader, well done

[Jeremy Baker]

Nice rhyme scheme and gentle, flowing style. The message is honest and philosophical, almost a reverie, which emphasises the sadness of the issue. Well written.
