My World

I want to live in a world Where people with substance abuse problems can walk hand in hand with a community of friends Because addictions as we know it is harder to fight through then it was for frodo in the Lord of the rings I want to live in a world where Poverty and homelessness is in our realm of political focal lens Because the way I see it Poets are street reporters and Misery is the sheets that blankets the poor. Our pens are our megaphones Social Injustices have continually been silenced The news focuses on Angelina's Newest Babies Or whether Tiger woods was guilty of infedility and My god..... How distracted we become like horses with side blinders so mindlessly flipping through our television sets which in essence are portals where the doldrums of our brain cells come to hibernate and we forget about our abilities to cause a commotion Inspire with our thoughts Our crazy, beautiful, wonderful, abstract, unique, witticisms that can set off a movement like a thousand beautiful rainbow dominoes. Falling to the floor in a ballet of tumultuous delight because Change... change can simply erupt overnight
