Inside My Mind

Inside my mind Colorful expressions Of righteous peace With thoughts of war Intwined with my anxiety For a world Without dimwitted humans. Craving inspiration  From these wonderful sounds, These wonderful sights, These wonderful feelings That I experience daily, But mankind has a different approach. Why explain  When we can have wars? Why speak When we can have riots? Why walk a mile in another's shoes When we can murder? The torturous journey Through life That I face is not half way completed, Yet I can't bare the wait to see what our intelligent leaders Have done to improve our nation. Perhaps raise taxes, Possibly decrease funds in schools, One can only hope that these people discover sense.
