New Trend

Unburried roots

This dream of yours

hits me to the core

I've had it too

and it makes me feel blue

 

It comes to me when I'm awake

and I tell myself that I won't partake

but the signs are clear

the end of America is near

 

I try not to fear

as I choke back a tear...

for I'm afraid that I'll create

or co-create

this terrible fate

 

Is it out of my control? 

I'm trying to console

myself

 

I choose love

I choose faith

is it enough

to stop this state?

of wreckage

of ruin

is it all my doin?

 

I tell myself I won't forsake

for it's only love 

I want to create

 

If I change myself

while I'm awake

will the outside world 

reflect my state?

 

I choose love

I choose faith

I will create

a beautiful world 

we can celebrate

 

join me my friends

for it's not the end

let's change our thoughts

so that we may mend

 

a hard climb it is

as we ascend

but If we commit to the job 

we will transcend

 

so come on

and join me

for I portend

if we do it together

we'll form a new trend

Very nicely done! It gives me

Very nicely done! It gives me a real, sincere sense of hope and optimism. In some parts it sounds like lyrics to a hit song - a good hit song.

Thanks! Gosh, this is from

Thanks! Gosh, this is from back when I first started writing poetry. I think I maintain that same optimism. Though the pessimist still speaks in my other ear. He's just a little quieter these days. Thanks for the read Rudy! :)
