Writing For All of the People

by IdTakeABulletForYou   Jun 10, 2008


I'm writing for all of the people who never got to write down a single word;
I'm writing for all of the humans who died in a colorless and empty world.

I'm writing for all of the people whose words were the one and only thing they owned;
--the ones who will not be remembered for nothing of them had been carved into stone.

I'm writing for all of the people whose names are forgotten as days roll along;
I'm writing for all of the people who did so much right but was told they did wrong.

I'm writing for all of the people whose only remains are ashes in the sky;
I'm writing for all of the people who withered away without any goodbye.

I'm writing for all of the people who gave their own life so that others may live;
I'm writing this poem for the six million people who died a Holocaust Victim.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

{Every time you hold a pencil,
Every time you hold a pen;
Think about the people who will never have that chance again.

Cherish every moment, the ones that from many have been robbed.
Cherish every second for the victims that cannot.

Write for all the people, ones who never had the time.
Think about them with each word.
Think about them with each line.
Don't write down the words for just yourself,
Write down your words for someone else;
To you, words may not mean a thing,
but to the victims,
they mean
everything.}

-

Dedicated to all who lost their life in the Holocaust.

To all those who are forgotten
and toall those who will be.

    WOW Stephen, this is really powerful! It's so important to remember the nameless souls who don't have a voice anymore, and the ones that walk amongst us today.Beautifully stated, well done.

    Hello Stephen

    What an excellent write. A poem for the underdog, almost.
    So many people suffer and are forgotten. So many achieve so much and are selfishly forgotten.
    I love the way the poem transfers from you telling the reader why you are writing it to a lesson and a pointing out that we, too, should be thinking of all those lost souls, past and future and write for them and with purpose.

    Great write - well done.

    I think this is an excellent and poignant poem. well done for writing such a beautiful, meaningful piece on such a difficult subject.
    when reading it, i thought it could be applied to more than just holocaust victims and just all those who have died because as you imply, everyone will be forgotten.
    this poem made me think and i loved how you structured as two seperate parts
    excellent

    First off, I love love loveeee your idea of this poem. It totally caught my eye. The Holocaust was one of the biggest things you'll ever hear about in history..! Intriguing subject! I knew this poem would be interesting. :]

    "I'm writing for all of the people whose words were the one and only thing they owned;
    --the ones who will not be remembered for nothing of them had been carved into stone.""

    -Awesome job. But, you go on, and you don't continue with the "I'm writing for all the people.... you say.. "the ones...." and then you go on, it didn't throw me off too much or anything.. but it was the only line in the poem that didn't start like the others. i know it was kind of difficult starting it the other way, but idk. just a thought. possibly, you'll consider changing that, if not.. fine with me. it's your poem. :]

    "I'm writing for all of the people whose names are forgotten as days roll along;
    I'm writing for all of the people who did so much right but was told they did wrong."
    -Sooo sooo true. Of course we don't really remember those who were invovled in the holocaust and how terribly they were treated.Nobody thinks about these things very much anymore unless they are taught in school or something. I know for a fact, that I didn't really "remember" those who were involved in the Holocaust til I was taught about it in school several years in a row.

    This poem gave me goosebumps. I don't know why. But, it made me think about how brave those were who died in the Holocaust. It was such a big time in our history, and It'll never be forgotten.

    Extremely amazing poem here. I enjoyed every speck of it. It was greatt! 5/5
