Poem For Review by FoxyUltimate(m): 5:58pm On Apr 17, 2013 |
[size=20pt]POEM FOR REVIEW[/size] There was a time I wished for power Power that would flow from within Power that would change my world And make everyone happy again There was a time I felt brave Standing for those in harms way People called me a hero But I knew I was only trying change Did I get the change I craved for As I grew through years each day Did the oppression ever stop And the world become a better place Did humans feel equal to each other When they stand in queue for a purpose Did someone else rise up after me To fight for the the down-trodden Now I feel I grow older My mission weighing me down As I go through life pages All I see are obstacles everywhere Would I let the wind cast me Or swim bravely against the tide Would I let my dream perish Or live to be born again I have grown and seen it all From my birth to this present day I have seen the heart of men From the oppressors to the oppressed You have the power, you are tagged villian You suffer from the power - victim So odd a world I live in That fate plays the cube game on Now I dwell on my own Casted into that lonely world You can't help humans I say Just chill and grow with the change Jesus tried - He was crucified Ghandhi suffered the same fate Talk about Martin Luther King Jnr. My friends... I still young Dedicated to all them April born and those who have abandoned their dreams of making the world a better place to live in again. Forget about everyone and focus on your goal because every change we see today started from someone. Unleash the potentials in you and let your instinct guide you. Many have fallen by the road side but something is always sure, their beliefs and dreams lived after them. Jesus --- You and I know the rest. Ghandhi --- Well.... I have nothing more to add Martin Luther King Jnr. --- Obama can tell you the story Me --- I don't wanna spoil the seriousness of my poem ooo... Sit, think and let your conviction be your propeller.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN ADVANCE TO ME AND THOSE BORN ON THIS DAY AND THOSE BORN AFTER ME |
