Promises

Promises kept,
promises broken,
this is the way
the world turns.
Promises made,
promises not,
people get hurt
and upset.
If everybody
in the world today,
got a quarter
for every promise
that was broken,
we'd all be millionaires.
Souls are happy,
hearts are sad,
people hurt every day,
promises should be kept
by the people that make them.

I don't feel for "the people."
This is a nice poem that's well written and nicely constructed, but I don't feel what the author is feeling--I don't know why I should care that people break promises. There is no new news in telling me what I already know--that people in general generally break promices.
This is also a poem written from an idealist's perspective--I need the idealist's persuasive words and feelings to tell me why I should care about his/her ideas. |
