James Fraser Poet Rhyme

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

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen May 30, 2009 at 4:56 AM 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.
