Trust your instinks

by Kane Burden   Jun 23, 2005


Why do we just stand by and watch,
When we should be concerned instead,
Depending on the life's that are lost,
Is what interest us the best.

Thousands of people die every day,
But we just change the channel,
Concerned about the one's we can save.

But research takes time and money,
The theory is good,
but what about the dead?

2 million Africans die every year to aids
So instead of changing the channel
and supporting your troops
Give money to the needing instead!

Politics overshadows the truth,
showing us only what we need to know,
"2 SAS soldiers fought off 400 rebels today in Baghdad",
When actually 40 of our guys now are dead.

We cant trust the media,
have to draw the conclusions ourselves,
So don't trust the word on the street,
trust your instincts instead.

    Great poem! Its nice to know that someone cares about all thats happening in the world. The line that hit home with me is:

    "We cant trust the media,
    have to draw the conclusions ourselves,
    So don't trust the word on the street,
    trust your instincts instead."

    Excellent wording, and so true in fact.
    Take care,

    I like it, but I must say, I support the troops as well! I'm what you would call "Patriotic" I suppose. My country means so much to me. Not just the land, but the freedoms and everyother thing we take for granted! I do, however, agree...We should NOT trust the media, but our instincts instead! Great poem, quite controversial, makes it all the better!

    Oh oh oh! it must be one of the best poems ever! Its a poem thats about something else then humor and love, its about something that actually meens something! I had to take a copy of it... Liked it so much.

    Like when you bring in that channel, baecause its true. We often change channels when we se terrible things like that. I have to say Im not talking for myself on that one. I like to se the facts, whats true, show me it. I would ratter stay ion that channel and look, and often i look on that kind of channels to see, i find it interesting also.

    The part when you say we should give money, is very very true! But i think its more about other things to. That we should actually go out and help. Go to Africa and build a home for homeless children. All the money that you donate you cant actually know how much of the money that you give that goes to what it should. So i say that we should go out and do what we want done our selves. I want to do my part for the ones who need it. And hopefully i would some day. hehe

    hoping to hear what you thought of what i said. Answear soon, please;D Kind hugs from Kristine.
