Our World Now

by LadyPearl   Jun 23, 2006


*not my usual style*
Each stanza (except the first) describes a event or message that is taking place in our world right now. See if you can decipher this poem, shouldn't be hard
-----------------------

She sketched out her dreams
Plotted all the streams
Grouped elements in teams
In sheer Bliss
But what happened to her results
They developed her new doubts

Rainforests wander in vain
Her heart in shattered pain
A hopeless lost ordain
Parched from time
Soon completely bare
Dying with no one's care

Dirty rags wrapped with blight
Old eyes soon losing sight
Shivering from the icy night
Nobody's love
Left alone with a couple cents
Not enough to gain back his sense

While coins stashed up high
In front of a miser's eye
Greedy from his lies
Ruled by pride
Not helping anyone
His goal has been done

Love, chained to ominous doors
Destroying what was a core
The heart of many ladies lore
True love in peril
Destroyed by deceiving hearts
With no morals or good thoughts

A parent's distress in their child's hate
Ruining their hopes and---fate
Cutting out life in an intolerable rate
Epidemic through veins
Either for attention or the past
These scars are here to last

    This is a very true poem. I love it when people write about the world's problems, because no one ever does! The whole way through, an element of sasdness held on strong. This poem gave a good sense of the world's need to change. I think what made it even more sad was that no one actually tries to stop it in this particular piece...good job!

    If you get trapped in thinking about it, it is hard to stand the world we live in because of all the crap the goes on all the time. I have felt that way quite a bit, and have ranted about it. When I was little and people asked me what I wanted to do when I grow up, I said I wanted to change the world, to make it a better place, and I still do. *now if only I could find a way to make the world listen* I can understand you sentiments for writing this poem, they make a lot of sense and are shared by many, including myself.
