Array ( [sid] => 11517 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Peace of mind [time] => 2003-01-28 21:10:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Baron and dark times are ahead of us
Death once more rears its ugly head
A blackened cloud swarming over land
Scraping up the dead

Nations rise and nations fall
Thats the history of war
Pointless excuses that mean nothing to me
I seem to have heard this all before

I hoped and prayed in 99
That the new millennium would bring peace
The hope lasted a matter of seconds
Violence seems to never cease

If the world were a 24 hour clock
Mankind entered with 5 seconds to spare
Yet in that brief and utter short period
They destroyed the world without a care

Pollution, famine, disease and war
Mankind is all to blame
If something did create this world
Do they hang there head in shame?

When I gaze into a childs eyes
I see hope surrounded by fear
The hope is getting smaller
Year by year by year

If we are to leave our children anything
Lets leave a legacy
We need to look at what love means
Its the only way to be. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 329 [topic] => 51 [informant] => korax [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Event )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
