Today a poem should be read while-
When you are still,
No thoughts to interrupt you,
In peace and harmony with oneself.
A poem should be painted in-
Your mind, your thoughts, your feelings.
Your desires, hopes, dreams.
A poem should talk about-
Love, controversy
Hate, fears
War, happiness
Desires, despair
What your actions say, but your mouth doesn't.
A poem should infiltrate-
Peace for others,
Safety, a place of acceptance.
A poem would've done something-
It would've made someone stronger,
Defend others,
Fight for what is right.
Some people know how to-
Hurt others,
Love others,
Face their fears,
Feel confident,
Be a leader.
My words-
Are simple like the sky is blue, the grass is green.
Without much thinking-
You get it.
Once-
When children played with their cell phones, Ipods, and video games,
People didn't have time to stop to think about life,
When they only cared about money,
When we fought for power,
Poetry wasn't poetry.
It was just another way,
To escape the harsh world we all seem to live in.
