A World in Pain
I awakened one night from a dream that confused me Spending many hours many days trying to understand I was still at a complete loss to discover it's meaning My efforts must have been too slow, for one day it happened I had a vision of such magnitude, i was stunned to believe It had implications i feared to believe, wanting only to hide There was no place to hide, mankind had doomed himself With hatred, greed, wars, and destruction to this sacred world He failed to understand the meaning, or the beauty around him He destroyed the forest, the mountains, the oceans for progress He failed to understand the plight of its people dependent on them He started wars he said was to destroy evil, bringing us peace He never paid attention to the hordes of starving children People without homes, and without countries to call their own While he sat in the comfort of his home, his family close at hand Crimes and atrocities around him, he didnt see, he was out of touch I began to cry "what had we become?" fearing for this world i loved Could my vision save us from further decadence, or was it too late Vote for this poem
