Here a few poems I've written recently, comments and criticisms are welcome The world we live in today, what a frightful place to be And no one listens to the voice of reason, the voice of you and me Driven by greed and ruled by incompetence We slowly destroy ourselves day by day But the one truth that floats among the sea of lies Is that anyone can turn the tide if they only try Hope is not lost to those who keep it near The voice of change has spoken, but you must open up your ears I am no noble leader, just a poet with a pen But I can see the path we must take to taste real freedom once again People like us will not let the world become what it has set out to be A barren trench of misery, from sea to shining sea So dry your eyes, enough with the tears Just spread your arms and hold me near Look forward to the day when Serenity leads the way, the day when suffering vanishes And injustice is kept at bay -------------------------------------------------------------------- Remorseful feelings swell up Morbid thoughts arise Regretfully I lift my head and open my weary eyes If not for love and if not for life, if not for those fleeting feelings of delight When dreams come alive The only thing left for me would be a lonely demise Looking back on yesterday, I shut my heavy eyes ----------------------------------------------------------------- Do you remember maple syrup Or the beauty of maple trees Do you remember the colors they’d turn in autumn Or the sparkling and shining seas Lab rats, HAZMAT, PCBs and dying trees Acid rain, Ozone strain, CO2 and fossil fuel Looks like Jacques Cousteau told us so We’ve brought upon the end We’ve crucified the environment on a cross of pollution Do you remember the taste of seafood Or swimming in the brook Do you remember breathing easy What little effort it took Lab rats, HAZMAT, PCBs and dying trees Acid rain, Ozone strain, CO2 and fossil fuel Looks like Jacques Cousteau told us so We’ve brought upon the end We’ve crucified the environment on a cross of pollution Do you remember when out of sight meant out of mind How dreadfully wrong we were From Chernobyl to America, such a sad and morbid fate This parched and barren wasteland we were so careless to create Sorry for the length of the first and last....enjoy and thanks in advance for any feedback
