The World Today

by RobinAnn13   Oct 26, 2007


People leave and people die
people hate and people cry
people hurt and people fear
screams for no one to hear

Families are broken
the gun is the token
of how much they care
of how life's not fair

Maybe we should all rewind
to when it was easier to find
a beautiful, everlasting love
pure as the white of a dove

No one has any trust
there's no more love, just lust
parents don't take care of their child
that's why they all end up wild

The world is made of one big lie
and everyone wants to know why
why is the world this bad?
why is everyone so sad?

No one believes in anything anymore
they no longer know what faith is for
all we know is devastation and sorrow
we'll wait and see what the world brings tomorrow

    The title of your poem is simple yet you keep it short and don't sugarcoat it nor try and add drama by adding words onto it. I like that and even though it is supposed to be sad, jsut by the title it could mean the state of the world in a negative or positive way.
    I don't take age into a factor, sometimes I see how old a writer is before I read or sometimes after I read. But being young, you do have time to write and to grow. Reading your poem outloud, I found that I stumbled over the final line of stanza one. I'm not good with syllable counts but I found that the last line might have come up too short and knocked it off balance...slightly. The second stanza differed from the first in form a bit, but all in all I didn't find that one out of place. For some reason the line about parents not taking care of their child threw it off a bit. I don't know why it just doesn't seem to flow.
    I think if you focused your attention on not the world as a whole but one single moment in time, you could learn how to select and deselect details, add description when needed and take out where it is used too much.
    But I do feel that at this time, at this place, that your poem unfortunately can be seen as an accurate view of the world and how we have done this. It does show that there is a spark in you that recognizes and knows what people like to hide. Keep writing and growing with each new poem you write.
