Looking Out My Window

by dollwithafrown   Aug 4, 2005


Looking out my window
I see a wonderful bright blue sky
But what I see myself
Is not in other peoples’ eyes

Looking up my street
Everyone’s happy and nobody’s crying
But other people in other places
Have to live with their family dying

--

We have to take a look and see
Things aren’t how they’re meant to be
Maybe where we are, things are fine
But it isn’t our lives on the line

--

Looking around my house
I have food, clothes and fun
But what about those other people?
They have nothing, they have none

Looking at the news on the TV
I realised that I am alive
But what about the children and adults
Who fight each day just to survive?

--

We have to take a look and see
Things aren’t how they’re meant to be
Maybe where we are, things are fine
But it isn’t our lives on the line

--

Looking at my friends
We go out shopping, parties and then our proms
But they live their world in fear each day
Scared of the violence, the deaths and the bombs

Looking at my bed each night
We can rest our head and shut our eyes
But please don’t forget the other world
Where any day, they could die

--

We have to take a look and see
Things aren’t how they’re meant to be
Maybe where we are, things are fine
But it isn’t our lives on the line

Note: Sorry this is in the slang category, it kept saying I had too many spelling mistakes, even though I couldn't find any. :S So I had to put it in here.

    Wow. Very well done. This definately had a deep meaning in it about life. I liked it a lot. It really summed up the value of life, and how much we take it for granted.

    The flow was ok, but here and there, there could be a few fixes. The imagery was great though. I really knew what you were talking about and it really caught my eye. Well done. =) 5/5 xoxo
