For Our Childrens, Children

Hey, all you governments Who sit on your ass Do as your told And do as we ask Make this planet The way it should Follow my stanza's Please intrude People prepared to take a life Should stay inside, out of sight Never to shadow, our neighbourhoods again Don't put them down, let our pains stain them Paedophiles preying on our innocent kids This is a parasite, that needs to be rid How its done, we vote in people to say For never again on our kids should they prey The driver who's drunk, vehicle out of control Never drive again, jail then parole All cases taken, for their premeditated crime Which will indicate their incarcerated time Corporate America, conglomerate feed The want for the dollar, seed of greed Countryside plundered for ore and wood What was picturesque scenes, now raped and crude The culture of guns from the Wild West Has impregnated the thought, of a gun by the bed Constitution allows the keep of a gun Decades of mentality, blood run The one to me that beggars belief To invade others for out and out greed The Invasion of Iraq, on the intelligence told Weapons of Mass, the public sold Saddam a tyrant like many others Sit round the table, as their power smothers There has to be ways to take them down Without invading their cities and towns So all you politicians, who work for us Get out of your office, get on that bus Campaign out there for what you know to be right For we'll vote you in, and applaud your sight Its not just for today, its for tomorrow and beyond So come on governments, please respond Pass the laws, with the White-house pen If not for us Our Children's, Children " This just came to me as i was reading a comment by Kristin Reynolds,thank you "

James, Your poem expresses the sentiment that I have heard from many Americans. The world is in trouble economically and spiritually as well. In many religions, brothers are supposed to help brothers. However, government(s) took over. Not enough good people doing the job. Greed! I guess. If we ever hope for World Peace, every individual will need to give up greed, show forth love, and embrace charity. One soul at a time... Shall we try? There are many insights in your poem. God bless you.
