This is MY vision!

by Alexandra Jade Brewer   Jan 18, 2010


This is MY vision

Its the wars that we study,

And the people so bloody.

The pain in their eyes,

When bombs fill the skies.

It all seems so foreign;

So strange...

There is so much in life,

That I strive to change.

This is my vision:

A world without pain,

Where no one is slain,

With so much disdain.

There are children;

Can you hear them cry?

The pain in their eyes,

When a parent says goodbye.

I cannot understand

Why people need to abuse,

Children so innocent,

Marked solely by a bruise.

This is my vision:

A world without pain

Where children arent chained,

And held in disdain.

People are screaming,

At enemies and friends.

Hate filled eyes,

With so many bad ends

Walking away...

In the opposite direction,

Unwilling to fix

And make the correction.

This is my vision:

A world without pain,

Where people arent trained,

To laugh at the insane.

There are people young and old,

They live on the streets,

And when it is cold,

All they have is some sheets.

I want to know why,

The world has come to this?

Where people are alone and scared,

With no goodnight kiss.

This is my vision:

A world with so much pain,

Where the dark and cold rain,

Causes so much strain.

But this is MY vision!

So I can change what I see,

I take back the wars, the enemies and hate

Now please, please just listen to me.

I see sky scrapers falling,

And smoke stacks collapsing,

I see the trees growing,

Where there are animals roaming.

Now cant you see I am trying to fight,

For the people I care for,

And I am trying to fight,

Against another world war.

I see friends; of every color and race,

Helping each other with a loving embrace,

But this should have been the case

In the very first place.

I see no more fighting,

No more pain in the world.

Because in my vision,

Love is unfurled.

    I like the message of the piece. I agree with you. I hate war and I think it's one of the things that's wrong with the world. I like how honest you are and how sincere your words are. You had a lot of problems with your mechanics so I would work on those. Kay Jay pointed most of them out, so I'd look at her comment and fix the things she suggested. I think this would have been a lot better if it was free verse. Your ideas seem forced by the rhyming words and I didn't like that much. You have very strong viewpoints and the rhyming messes that up. Anyways nice work. Nik

    I like the poem, but i felt that the rhyming was a bit forced, and i woulds= advise to mix up the vocab, but all in all good work

    Lovely. This was a topic I thought was generally well used. I loved the flow and rhyme to it. Also it had a significant meaning. There is so much pain in the world and people don't see it.

    I love this part of the poem,
    I see sky scrapers falling
    And smoke stacks collapsing
    I see the trees growing
    Where there are animals roaming

    Because I have always wondered what the world would be like without sky scrapers. And where we don’t cut down the rain forest and animals habitats.

    Overall it was great.

    This is MY vision

    Its the wars that we study
    And the people so bloody
    The pain in their eyes
    When bombs fill the skies

    ^^ In the first line: 'Its' should be It's (so it reads 'it is'). Nice introduction. I think you did a good job with catching my attention. Reading just this stanza makes me want to continue, just to see how deep it will go.

    It all seems so foreign
    So strange...
    There is so much in life,
    That I strive to change

    ^^'So strange....' I really liked this one line. It creates a pause; at the same time making my mind go places.

    This is MY vision:
    A world without pain
    Where no one is slain
    With so much disdain

    ^^I think that this is my favorite stanza. Although, you should add some commas, semicolons, and periods to this write. It sort of messes with the flow of the poem; because while reading, you dont know when to pause.

    There are children;
    Can you hear them cry?
    The pain in their eyes
    When a parent says goodbye

    ^^Again, punctuation.

    I cannot understand
    Why people need to abuse
    Children so innocent
    Marked solely by a bruise

    ^^A lot of voice hear. I really like the emotion you put into this here write. It is really felt and heard with these four lines.

    This is MY vision
    A world without pain
    Where children aren't chained
    And held in disdain

    People are screaming
    At enemies and friends
    Hate filled eyes
    With so many bad ends

    ^^This is truely the world today. So much chaos and commotion. These two stanzas hold a lot of truth.

    I am trying to fight
    For the people I care for
    I am trying to fight
    Against another world war

    This is MY vision
    A world without pain
    Where people aren't trained
    To laugh at the insane

    I see sky scrapers falling
    And smoke stacks collapsing
    I see the trees growing
    Where there are animals roaming

    ^^Nice imagery. I really liked your choice of vocabulary throughout; but really in this stanza.

    A see no more fighting
    No more pain in the world
    Because in my vision
    Love is unfurled

    ^^Wonderful conclusion. I liked that you switched it and made the ending more optimistic and.... happy.

    Overall, I agree with MERCY. Most writers dont like their own works, but others really admire them. This is not a bad poem at all, but it could be a little better. The emotion was perfect, but I think that you were focusing too much on trying to make it rhyme. Poems dont have to rhyme to be great. But, beautifully written. I gave this a 4 because I think that it does need a little work. But you are a very talented writer and hopefully to take the suggestions listed above helpful.

    Keep writing :)
