With everything going on in society today, it can be hard to find the right words to express your thoughts and feelings. Whenever I am overwhelmed with emotions, I find that poetry, especially free verse, helps me express them as eloquently as possible. I hope you enjoy and receive something from it.
"Is this really happening?"
Every time I turn on the news
But we're past this, better than this
Human nature just couldn't handle peace
The hatred is so intense
But how, but why, what for?
It's like they forgot our basic humanity
We all pump blood through our veins
They claim to do it for God
Not sure they claim to know
I am certain that our true Creator
Could never desire such hatred
But just like words can tear us down
They can also build us up
Change doesn't happen, hearts don't open
When you maintain your silence
The good in this world will always advance the bad
We are stronger together, united
Share your ideas, hopes, and dreams
Write on, share on, love on
