A poem to save the world
I wrote this a while back. about two maybe three years ago. I need to start writing again, it kept me sane at one point. so check it out guys, let me know what you think!
A Poem to Save Our World ©
Every day my heart shatters, my soul is torn
Day after day our hatred for each other has grown
We’ve killed men, we’ve killed women and we’ve killed children
We’ve even killed babies before they were born
* * *
Our hearts have blackened when they were once white as snow
We’ve torn countries and families with every shot and blow
We’ve put out the candle of hope so it would never again glow
This is all our own doing and nothing else’s throw
* * *
The Earth complains every night and every day
“Why do this to me?” it asks with tears, no foul, no play
Animals kicked out of their own forests when wanting to stay
Trees cut down, no mercy, and on the ground now they lay
* * *
Dolphins, whales and even sharks too
Mad at humans for not keeping their oceans blue
Children being orphaned, and why? They haven’t got a clue
Every three seconds a human in Africa dies, oh yes it’s true
* * *
“You’ve got your head in the clouds” people might tell me
But I will not stop till I get every creature free!
Wars all over and all the big ones care for is freakin’ tea!
I’ll ask for help from every one and I shall even plea
* * *
“You can’t save the world” they say, but at least I try
I’ll try every way there is, and if need be, I will even fly
It will not be an easy job, I won’t lie
But I won’t sit here while humans, animals and all the plants die
* * *
All around the world, wars, poverty and starvation
It will not all go away with a simple incantation
Let’s stick together and be a family, not just a nation
Don’t be shallow and only think of your summer vacation
* * *
What’s the point of fighting when there’ll be nothing to fight for?
You’re healthy and you have your family, so what do you need more?
Children playing in the back yard with pets whined up on the floor
They bleed to death, so did you have to? Or were you just having a bore?
* * *
Close your eyes and imagine that happening to your own kids
Babies all over needing bandages and a lot of meds
Hospitals so full that they’re in need of much more beds
The problem with you is if any one wants peace then off with their heads
* * *
You don’t even try to listen to what we’re saying
Why don’t you understand what all of us are doing?
We lay in our beds every night just wishing
Wishing to be heard, understood or thanked for trying
* * *
You say sacrifices must be made for more freedom
What I think you need is the strongest word of wisdom
And if all this keeps up I‘ll announce treason
Don’t waste you lives bickering with guns and just live ‘em
* * *
You think you’re all so smart to have survived till now on Earth
But animals did it first and you know it’s the truth
So stop and think about what all of this is worth
Stop killing every creature that gives birth
* * *
Our grandchildren won’t see polar bears, is that fare?
Animals are put to sleep to make some purses and fake hair
Why do I even bother? You’ll never learn to share
And you who only talk get a move on instead of just glare
* * *
Mr. Harrison Ford is against killing tigers and with him I am
One day I’ll be as big as him and you’ll all be saying “Yes, Ma’am”
Then you’ll do something instead of sitting eating P.B and Jam
And when you do, then you’ll truly have true (Salam)
* * *
That’s an Arabic word which means peace
In Arabic, English, Spanish or even words of Greece
You’ll never understand the true meaning of the word (peace)
Well, I’ll bet you you’ll get it if you ask your little niece
* * *
“Stand for what you believe in” is what I always say
I’ll do what ever possible till my hair turns grey
I’ll destroy whatever’s in my way like a prey
“You’ll give up one day” you say but I say “No way”
* * *
You don’t even listen to an animal saying “Have mercy”
You should’ve known you would have the curtsy
You’re feelings died after your first kill, so you don’t see
I’ll have help from every land and every sea
* * *
How much time do we have? Not a lot
I won’t stop moving unless I get caught
And I’ll need help from all you lot
I’ll need all the courage, dedication and words you’ve got
* * *
Use every power you have and don’t hold back
If we all unite together we’ll be as tall as Shaq!
And we’ll whiten their hearts which have turned black
We’ll win this fight with a shout and a smack
* * *
So join me troops and let’s lose no time
Let’s get together; it’s our time to shine
Don’t think about it and here just sign
I know for sure we’ll do it and bells shall chime
END
