Change the World

Stagnant hateful world we live 
Something has got to give
 Mass destruction of the human soul
Innocent lives have become the toll
False prophets who have manipulated the word
Has planted a seed in every boy and girl 
  It's time to take back ALL our lost
 And teach them love at any cost 
Stop judging people on how they look
Or who they love,or what book

Kyle Kriticos Date: 8/12/2016 7:42:00 PM I will never say a tragedy like a shooting has any posative side whatsoever. What i noticed in times like these though is that when sorrows and misery come, human hope, love and peace come to meet them as displayed by the thoughts in your well weitten poem. Excellent and welcome to the soup! Login to Reply

Poet Destroyer A Date: 8/6/2016 1:54:00 AM Jessica Z, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@ Login to Reply
