    Poem Commentary

    If all that glitters is not gold why don't we stop and change it.

    Barbaric World

    A quite barbaric world I have seen...
    Full of hatred where our children scream.
    You close the shutters behind your minds.
    Locked out in blindness;looking for the kind.
    The Wars not stopping as we talk and pray.
    Where children starve and adults are fed.
    Suicidal deaths make me see rages of red.
    Unnecessary bullets fired and killing friends.
    No peace sighted in everything that descends.
    Harsh illnesses and ill fated words spoken.
    My friends hurt like bleeding hearts broken.
    This small barbaric world is not listening.
    Our children want there smiles glistening.
    We should explore space and advance...
    Everything should feel like a joyful dance.
    As we wish for a day with a bright peace for tomorrow.
    Only a Heart hold a soul of wisdom not sorrow...

    It is a jungle out there...scary and frustrating at times, but somehow we manage to make it through life. We have choices, and hopefully we can do good to make things right. You paint a true picture of the way things are, Footsie...............g

    Sometime my poetry will strike others differently.I take the good with the bad and except the passion with-in it.I'm glad it struck you posetively.

    Unfortrunately, I do not agree with the other comments. The lines of this work lack good rhythmn and at times the rhymn seems forced. The first verse, which is most important fails to draw my attention. however, several lines are concise and paint a good picture in the mind.

    This is beautiful in it's expression. So sad what some have to go through while others sail through life with a get out of jail free card. Good job.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
