About This Poem

Should It Be Done

Day after day I read words Wisdom seen but never heard As poets fill their pens With ink of thoughts that never ends We try to tell the world Of the madness about to unfurl Though thoughts can never be a gleam In anyones ones eyes if never seen Perhaps we should take to the streets Where graffity scrawls walls To post words that will be seen So the open eyes can get a gleam Of the beauty and wisdom we hide inside That can effect and change peoples minds Simple words that can be read By the pathways people tread Words left on a canvas For no one to ever see Might as well be left in a dark ally Where drunk people pee Their eyes to blurry to see This message they need to read For simple words won't change any hearts If just written but never seen

    Oh wow....this is so True and really great to read Dan. I love the image you portray in the poem about poems unwritten or shared being hidden in dark alleys for no one to see......when there are ppl in this world who need to see or could be uplifted to read. Thank you for sharing this poem Dan man - Shaz

    I really liked your message but want to say to everyone just here on soup..you would never believe how much encouragement I get just among these few readers everyday since I joined. Maybe not changing the world but small pieces of it....

    I like your idea Dan, instead of grafitti, we should pool together and write poetry on wall instead of pictures, if the cave men knew how to do it, so can we, bring out the furry chested men and the hairy legged women, roar! we must, I will stop shaving my legs as of now, will let you know when I'm ready to roar with you, Ra Ra! SMile! It's only me xxx

    Hey Dan: Man!!! Another great poem. My favorite part is "for simple words won't change any hearts--if just written but never seen". Very heavy philosophy. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment on my poems. PEACE.
