Those fanatical minds
Trying to rule the world
Watch yourself

From dark to divine
Lawless and blind
Upon thunderous applause
To take up their causes

Search to define me
The lies that must blind me
When brought to the light
Are too ugly a sight

Swift to accuse me
Free to abuse me
Is there freedom still?
But the freedom to kill

Brothers stand up beside me
The rights that are mind should all be ours
Let us gaze to the stars

Join my obsession
To throw off oppression
To do good still
This is my will

Let the people live free
In a world left at peace
Instead of tearing it to pieces
Such things are beneath us [comments] => 1 [counter] => 172 [topic] => 41 [informant] => scottstone [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )

My Hope for Humanity

Time after time
Those fanatical minds
Trying to rule the world
Watch yourself

From dark to divine
Lawless and blind
Upon thunderous applause
To take up their causes

When brought to the light
Are too ugly a sight

Swift to accuse me
Free to abuse me
Is there freedom still?
But the freedom to kill

Brothers stand up beside me
The rights that are mind should all be ours
Let us gaze to the stars

Join my obsession
To throw off oppression
To do good still
This is my will

Let the people live free
In a world left at peace
Instead of tearing it to pieces
Such things are beneath us

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. ©
