He Who

would you step in front of someone you did not know
and take a blow
just to send a message 
just to show
that the world isn't covered in filth
take a second to listen to what I am about to spill
he who takes violence
ignorant to silence
is filled with confusion 
that's why when it comes to losing 
its not a choice
he must
show he's tough
violence is a tool that the fool will use to play
he says it feels good but truthfully he can't say
he who takes peace 
easy to please with a mind set at ease 
more than likely to sit back in a daze
think of ways 
he can put a smile up on that face
he who takes violence picks out fault and error 
he who takes peace only wants thing fairer 
they who take violence lurk among us
we who take peace must help them become us.

Kyle, 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 <-@
