Analyzation Nation

Analyzation Nation

A Poem by Astro
"

A series of unanswered questions that cause global conflict

"
When you press your face to the mirror,
Who's side are you really on?

When you've kicked over all of your sandcastles,
Who's really left lying in the dirt?

When you kill with the right hand and heal with your left,
Why do you still need both to pray for forgiveness?

When you say peace is your aim but war is your method,
How can you justify such a sacrifice?

When you glorify the learned but deny free education as a right,
How will the poor ever become equals?

When you remove truth from the media,
How can you expect us to believe your lies?

When you say that money makes the world go 'round,
Why is it then, that the wealthy want it to stop?

When you refuse to ask yourself any of these questions,
Who's fault is it when the world stops believing in you?

"Who's fault is it when the world stops believing in you?" That is kind of like a slap in the face and a very nice way to end this piece. It makes you think. I love it. Thanks for sharing, Astro.

Well written... I will avoid discussing a few of the topics that you have touched upon in this, because we've already had such discussions and our eyes don't quite meet, but on a whole, I think that you heart is pure gold and though we may have different ideas on how to arrive, we both want to get to the same place. Brave writing!
