One Thousand Words

The things I can say

Emotions that I can relay

In one thousand words

Events I can speak of

As if I saw them from above

In one thousand Words

Wars that were fought

People that were bought

In one thousand Words

Leaders that have lied

And because of them, those that have died

In one thousand words

The feelings that have been felt

The pain that has been dealt

In one thousand words

Things such as love

Her beauty and grace exceeding that of a dove

In one thousand words

Actions fueled by rage

Against those who claim to be a sage

In one thousand words

Those in chains of sorrow

Turning away from a better tomorrow

In one thousand words

The existence of a higher presence

To explain the human essence

In one thousand words

A mix of poetry

With a sinners harmony

In one thousand words

In a world with all of this to see

I can still define me

In one thousand words

With pride and joy, I claim my insanity

Believing no being is without vanity

In one thousand words

I have no room to lie

To be different, I try

In one thousand words

A crowd goes one way, down the same path

Me and whoever wishes to be, will stand and laugh

In one thousand words

More than a simple attraction

I willingly take action

In one thousand words

Freedom is more than a simple desire

Without it, I resemble a dying fire

In one thousand words 

Reviews

nicely put thank you

Good work here. The repetition is fine, although it is a bit long. You do touch on many different topics. Seems to flow rather well and the spacing helps. Nothing awe inspiring (sorry) it 'feels' familiar somehow.

Repetition without redundancies... I like it

But I liked it.
Thanks for sharing.

I loved this ^_^, the repetition was beautiful, as opposed to the monotone feel that most pieces with repetition give off. The imagery here is wonderful, and the messages behind each stanza contrast and then agree in a most lovely sort of tug-of-war.

I might have to do a poem like this for my next writing in Language Arts. I'm inspired.
