Monument

A monument for everyone who deserves a prize for living life and giving life

Where are the monuments?

For our lost dreams

For the people

Who got lost in them

Who bet on them

It was and fame 

Fame it was

That destroyed 

Those monuments

They got lost

They corrupted each other

Is their anybody there? 

Who really has a worthy Soul 

Hey, where are we?

Are we standing on water 

Like God

Or are we standing on earth

like the Devil

Full of Sin 

Where are those Monuments?

For those who fought bravely

For those who reached their dreams

For the ones were great parents

We need things to change

Is their anybody there?

Who has a worthy Heart

It was corruption

Who brought down earth 

Where are those heroes?

Who risk their lives

While the bad ones

Are living making this world

Fall

Heroes are born from nowhere 

As well as geniuses 

As well as history came out of nowhere

Where are those heroes?

Hiding deep inside their dreams

Inside their dreams

Where are those monuments? 

Where are they?

Is their anybody outside?

Anybody there? 

Anybody ?

Who can understand this poem.

Great job, Lizardo! :)

We put superstars on pedestals for no reason. Most of them haven't done anything productive in this world that would move it positively. It's all about the simple folks that should be respected, admired, loved, valued. They are the ones who protect us, teach us important values, move mountains, make this world a better place. You ask good questions. You stimulate good thinking.

I found a few errors. Here are my suggested corrections:
-Stanza two, line seven: Is "there" anybody there?
-Stanza five, line four: For the ones "who" were great parents
-Stanza five, line six: Is "there" anybody there?
-Stanza nine, line three: Is "there" anybody outside?

There is a troublesome angst in the man with sensitive eyes. You can dream, hope, pray and offer a helping hand but the angst shall always remain.

I feel your passion Lizardo!

The purpose of monuments is to help remember so we do not forget but what happens when monuments are never erected then what? Does that monument fade in the wind never to penetrate the mind, heart and soul. We need monuments to help us remember so we never ever forget.
