Poem
We have mentally drained our emotions into the world around us Causing our own commotions then get mad with what surrounds us. We lack to feel for those that we see have less. We slack and oppose for what we think is best. We tend to take from a pot that is not rightfully ours. We tread lightly with the truth, but listen to lies for hours. We get bombarded with the ways of the world, yet we aren’t teaching boys how to treat girls. We are leading the youth to the worst of ways; we take no responsibility for the paths we’ve paved. We raise hell when our child is wrong, as we defend them. We teach them that laws are in place, but there are ways to bend them. We want our voices to be heard, but what we say is empty. We are portraying a message that is disturbed-- we are killing ourselves, to put it simply. We have too little knowledge and exceeding pride. We feel so comfortable on this roller coaster ride. We watch the turmoil that is of this world, constantly run its loop. We don’t take enough time for ourselves to just sit-- and regroup. We have troubles and pains and we are losing our loved ones. We don’t see what we can gain if we would just become one. We have fought off those that have offended us, but we haven’t confronted the evil thoughts that run deep within us. We have come to some reality that we are just humans. We don’t see the totality of what all the ‘just’ is ruining. We cannot become one when we are constantly separating ourselves. We cannot become whole when we ignore our inner self. We keep following the trends of things that hold no value. We sleep cowardly to no end and buy all the dreams that they are selling. We don’t look in the mirror to see who we really are. We look at some reflection as if we are too far-- to reach, to teach, to redirect or speak. We have lost sight of what it is to love. We don’t feel the connection, so it’s easier to run. We get off-track; thinking we don’t need anyone. We have blocked out what it is to have compassion, we take routes for our own personal satisfaction. We keep thinking this way, we will never be united, but together we will fall. We just need to become one and together we could have it all. The ways of the world, seem so wicked Overbearing thoughts-- self-inflicted. 2/1/2016
