Forgotten Worlds

The Middle East visits consciousness.

Windows have lost their conventional wisdom,

I look outside to see Syria, Iraq and Egypt.

The bullets and bombs streak by my consciousness,

Laughter has ceased everywhere you hear ears.

I am as lonely as an inmate seeking a change of clothes

For I have made the world to my liking 

I have forsaken the worlds I cannot see.

Thank you all! Since this writing things seem to be getting worse.

This touched my heart so much. I wish there was a way to show you that a majority of our people don't want any part of this war. If you'd like to read my poem called we shall be free, I hope it would help show you our country does have compassion, just our government lacks it
