I Stand

I STAND

I look into those men eyes
I see nothing to stand for
their excellent lies are awarded
believing in institution
with falling body
I stand and see nothing

I am not impressed
Oh!! truly ambassadors of poverty
Let rise on intruders our delve
We all stand for mission

At times I ask about our past questions
heads arw guilty of the past
Yet I stand and see nothing

Youths are the hope
if oceans can rise 
if plants can grow 
Yes!! we can 
for great change 
not like night day owls
Hope I stand.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Opeyemi, 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 <-@
