PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

we must hold onto bits and pieces of the distant past

we must learn to let go of the idea of a perfect

world

but we choose to

not just yet

we out smart our innate instincts yet still fall deeper

into many dark forms of debt

life is a luxury some just simply can't afford

so they look down drugs' destructive path

leading to death

as an easy numbing outlet

there are still so many basic needs to this very day

that are not being met

sometimes what you give to another can be far better

than what back you could ever hope to get

when we let children suffer and starve

a part of all of us loses its precious value

some battle such human depreciation by merely asking

what is it I can do

If anything, start by treating your fellow man as a

friend

let him know that you care and to his troubles you

too would like to see a final end

and if you're unable to help in any physical or

financial way

at least have the common decency

to have a few kind words to say.............
