[hometext] => I wrote this two years ago. It won an Amnesty International competition but please don't think I'm boasting because I'm not
[bodytext] => We reap what we sow In the deepest shadows of the glimmering glow We are your future of tomorrow Why must we endure these countless acts of sorrow? We are the youth, we are the condemned The battle scars we have received; only God can mend How many shots of fire must it take, To realize this harmful punishment isn't a mistake? The outcasts slowly drift to the outside Dropping their head and losing their pride. The outer circle becomes too far to fear Until the actions concluded end so severe. The less we pick and tease The more the world will feel at ease. Sticks and stones May break our bones But words alone, Are chiseled deep in stone. Life is a lesson we must abide to Not learning its true beauty until we are through Chapter by chapter the pages turn Tempers flare and souls burn. Page by page the words read Each good deed replaces a bad deed Flipping through the pages left and right Losing track of what's in sight. Dealing with our ignorance is a hard topic to cope All it takes is courage and an ounce of hope To those out there To the ones who care Touch one person's life is all I ask Is that such a hard and difficult task? I have been through this all I have risked everything, only to watch it fall. Everyone who dares, walk a day in another's shoes See how much you win; see how much you lose. Then, and only then, may we finally understand That all we need is a helping hand. The pain we must bear Balances out with the love we share [comments] => 1 [counter] => 188 [topic] => 21 [informant] => aboutdesouffle [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

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. ©
