What happned

by jason   May 8, 2007


Their was once a time when people smiled and people cheered
where people did not have anything to fear

their was once a place
where you could see a smile on every child's face

a year when the only things one had to fear
was fear himself

what happened to these times
we stepped over the line
crossed into a place forbidden

now children cry
just as time passes by
all the time

parents yell
throwing dishes and raising hell
holding each other
trying to calm the other down

sirens roar
shooting families to the floor
after breaking through the door

government corrupt
feeding off of everyones trust
selling lies
to the people
promising a better time

what happened to the world
what changed it
to be so cruel

why did all this drama have to occur
forgetting the past
as everything else becomes a blurr

a whole past left behind
in a cruel twist of swords
tearing values
into twisted words

    Poems like these I think could go on forever! There's just so much chaos that you prolly would run out of things to rhyme or lines to write before running out of things so wrong in the world. A line that I really liked would be:

    "A year when the only things one had to fear,
    was fear himself."

    Excellent line. Excellent poem.

    There is so much truth in this poem, that it's amazing. You worded everything so intricately that I might even add this poem to my favorites. Great flow, by the way!
    The best stanza (I think at least) was:

    a whole past left behind
    in a cruel twist of swords
    tearing values
    into twisted words

    Keep it up, and I award a 5/5 :D

    With all due respect,
