it's fun to dream

Topic: MiscPoems

What do you do,
when people are crying,
when peace is sold
and nobodies buying.
cuz the real money,
is in dying,
thats why guns have their own stores,
violence is at core,
man excels at killing,
a U N Iverse at war.
what do you do,
when you have nothing to fight for,
don't want to do wrong,
but theirs a lock on the right door?
what do you do,
when media is designed,
to desensitize eyes, so that they remain dry?
What do you do,
when empathy becomes rare,
watch people die in despair, and we choose not to care,
why?
the remotes over there.
What do you do,
when vile hands hold the keys,
push all the buttons,
control destinies.
When primitive man,
holds civilized knowledge,
institutions are crumbling, he still won't acknowledge.
What do you do,
when might equals right,
when you must follow the herd
or be removed from sight.
When eyes refuse light, in blindness they fight,
when people are suffering cuz their money is tight?
What do you do,
when schools mass produce fools,
nuts and bolts of the system,
nothing but tools.
What shall we do,
when we see it too late,
broke covenant with nature,
continued to take,
when our soul's rendered hollowed, hearts tainted with pride,
let material pleasures corrupt thought and mind.
What do you do,
when life is no longer thine,
where judgments and folklore have clouded the mind.
When the system becomes prison and you just want to survive,
hopelessness dawns
and you've lost will to try?
What do you do,
when the future looks grim,
proceeding in darkness,
for the light is too dim?
Me, I choose to sleep,
just lay my head down,
relax my mind state,
let thoughts stay abound.
Tomorrow might yield a new surprise,
the reduction of frictions, maybe compromise.
A system collapsed, a chance to start anew,
rebuilding with bricks
of virtue and truth.
But the new sun arises
and greets weary eyes,
to the same old things,
most of which I despise.
No change in the sky,
no falter in scheme,
reality is draining,
that's why its always fun to dream.

Very nice.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
