War

Sometimes you wonder

What it is like

To live in a world

Where no one was

Sad, mad angry, upset

 

In this world everyone is always

So nice, happy, and cheerful

You never see things like

 

People stealing things

People being mean

People doing harmful things to others

 

If only this world would be a real place

People who are feeling sad or something like that

Can go to that place and relax

They can clear their mind of all the evils

That we have in our world

 

Our world is filled with war, and hate

But all we can do is move on

If everyone were happy

And there were no violence

No evil things

 

The world would be better

 

I have seen the death

Of someone who my mother loved dearly

But it's different when death happens

'Cause of old age

 

And I thought to myself

'What if other people die for worser  reasons?'

 

That thought scared me but it was true

 

In our world there are many wars

 

We can't do anything about it

When another person dies

It's just the way things are

And I bet some people don't like it that way

'Cause I know that I don't

 

Have you ever seen someone dieing

Right in front of you?

The fear, and the sadness in their eyes

 

Have you seen a poor innocent child

(On the news) Who got taken away?

 

People die each day, every single second

And at the same time that one dies

Another is born

 

That's how life is

We can't change a thing

When someone who you loved

Has departed, and you can't do a thing

 

You can cry but it won't help

 

You either try to stop it

Or you can just act like

Everything's okay

And just suck up

 

But I bet the person who died

Wouldn't like it if they knew

That you tried to forget about them completely

 

This world is filled with many wars

 

And if someone dies

We can't change a thing

It's something that hurts

But it's also something

We have to live with.

Every month a million people will die of hunger and a million will die of HIV in Africa. We live in a world where we spend 100 times more on war then care of people. I pray everyday the world toss aside religion and hate. Work together to heal the Earth, feed and have a safe place for all people. I don't see a lot of hope. But hope can rise from one sunrise. A very powerful poem.

This is a good poem. It is true everyone does die eventually. Nothing can change that though. I have had a friend kill himself. I was scared when I found out the way he died. I found out from my sister. We weren't supposed to know, but he did. It is sad, but like you said new life is born every minute or so. Thanks for sharing.

Anoher good work Tati. The wonderful thing about reading your work is I know that the youth are the hope of our future. What you see and how you feel in the world you live in will directly effect people in my generation because you are the potential leaders of tomorrow. Keep observing, keep speaking out through powerful writing. You will get stronger and better with each observation and work.
