Poem
I look backwards I look forward I look all around I look left and right chaos is all to be found someone at this second is murdered someone at this second is raped just watching the news makes me want to pray you cant park your car on the street anymore you can't go out at night you can't walk down the road anymore alone in broad daylight this world should be moving forwards and not backwards anymore people need to be more nice and bring more love and less war how hard is it to pay excuse me rubbing shoulders'walking by? being nice is so easy to do people need to give it a try the government saying what we can or can not do America used to be free but that is no longer true a child rapist is charged again then he was set free while ppl sit in jail for unpaid fines that sounds backwards to me punishing everyone with guns because of one person's psychotic act ...it's not the gun it's the person everyone with common sense knows that registered sex offenders as our neighbors- man what a relief the law says they've paid their dues but that's just what they want to believe people being shot all around because the color of their face I believe everyone should be loved no matter what the race people all over struggling not enough money for bills to be paid I think this country is going under too many changes to be made oil spills, chemical factories and the ocean is filled with trash at this rate 50 years from now this world will be ash it takes so much energy to hate I wish everyone could see life would go more smoothly if you do unselfish deeds when you see someone struggling offer a hand to help if the tables were turned wouldn't you want that for yourself? there are many things you can't change but try hard at the things you can you have a special place in this world you are part of a bigger plan part of the plan to take our lives back part of the plan to do what's right part of the plan to walk safely down the street in the day or night I was taught to hold on to love and I should never hate together everyone could turn this around it is never too late it's time to take one step forward and no longer take any back this country, this world, our children's' future is at stake and that is a fact
