I have lived this life

I have lived this life
for awhile now
seeing sorrow and sadness all around
people and children
without food to eat
starving on the corner of the street
parents loosing what they have owned
children crying they want to go home
sadly to say
there’s no home
for them today hoping every day
things will change
the tears that I feel
are very very real
from all the children screaming
with all that fear parents
can’t go anywhere
no jobs to find
no security in that
state of
   mind.

Paits a very realistic picture of what is going on today in the world. I just thanks God I don't really want for nothing. it reminds me that it is a duty for me and my family that we have a responsibility to help others that are struggling. thanks for the eye opener.

I would rather see things half full not half empty. I want the world to be a better place where children laugh not cry. As Robert Kennedy said. "some people see things the way they are and Say Why...I dream things that never were and say WHYNOT"

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
