Stand Tall

9-12-10

We have a brief vision of what life is supposed to be,
A vision that was created by you and me
This world seems to have gone into a downward spiral,
Amazingly enough this has been occurring for a while
I am glad I took notice of how we are all getting sucked in,
People are out there seemingly to just win
I would of never dreamed that you would some day become one,
Instead I figured you'd fight along side me until our voices were heard & damage was done
Now I seem to stand alone in my own right,
This world of sheep that follow their leader will one day turn to fight
Until then I can only hope that they are led to the truth,
This corporate world of undeniable sad people hold the sheep in their booth
Then those who had followed are slaughtered for their own beliefs,
So the moral is to stand up high and be your own person my beseech.

I saw Ohio struggle the eighties. Then the I-75 towns pick-up and many job were create. The Detroit jobs and the jobs in Ohio walk hand in hand. Your poem tells a true and real story. Need less sheep and more people who will stand-up for the right things. I believe we are hand-cuffs till election time. Then we can elect new people. Change is necessary. No change till we replace all the men in Washington with new blood. I like the complete poem. A powerful and wise ending.

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

an exceptional and truly needed message for a world filled with somnambulating mindless automatons who avidly give all responsibility over to the corporate/political/media greed that seems to have taken over the wheel of this country~ powerful and potent!~

Great poem with a sad but powerful truth to convey. Like it.

[Hello, Goodbye]

I love this poem because I share its feelings and sentiments in my own heart. You have expressed the notion of conviction and remaining loyal to ones feelings, quite well.
