Stop the Cycle

by Leah20   Feb 25, 2005


Silenced is their laughter
Broadcast are their lies
And still none of them can see
What has led this once great country to it's untimely demise

Hushed are the children
Put to scorn if they laugh
All the people yurn for simpler times
The ideals that are lost in the past

Simple elegance and beauty
Are no where to be seen
The media lies to us all
Things are never as they seem

Political lies
And earthly schemes
They help us in no way
Their only purpose; To decieve

Don't let it take you
Don't cease to exist
Don't let them steal your soul
Don't be a conformist

be a good neighbor
Lend a helping hand
Try to make the best of it all
In this Godforsaken land

Break the chains that bind you
To our horrific society
Don't be consumed by this hell
Allow yourself to be free

Save yourself first
So that you can also save your friends
We can all work together
And force this hell to come to an end

    Loved this poem, I do agree with it, I think the view of the world, sucks,, we are better off than we think we are, but we are told constantly by the media, how bad it is......Its kinda scary, but its the way of the world. I too think if we would all just live by the "Golden Rule," Do unto Others, we would be blessed more, but you have your rebels, that just refuse.....I for one will try to be a good person, and will pray for world daily. You have really made my mind wander with this piece of work......thats what a good writer does.....Great job Love ya, becky
