Flaws Of Our Lives - A Poem by umar745(m): 11:08am On Nov 29, 2013
We are part of the same creation,
the same nation.
We carry anger and hate,
but its never to late,
to turn life around,
to put end to what we pound,
Into the minds of our generation,
Give hatred a vacation.
Children hating one another,
Jealous crimes against each other.
Words leading to suicide...
Is this where our world will abide?
Hatred is the foundation we lay.
A world of one big fray.
All people do is run at the mouth,
Ignorance is present in East, West, North, and South.
All that's done is talk, talk, talk,
But what is needed is walk.
Rambles needed to be put in action,
For morals we need traction,
Something to hold us to them,
A place where hatred cannot stem.
Government claims they will help the poor,
but people live on the streets more and more.
How can the law claim to protect us all,
when a race makes their skin crawl?
Racist men and women with lives in their hand,
Lives of those they cannot stand.
A Declaration says that we are created equal,
But some are hungry and others are full.
Equal opportunity,
For all in the community,
But a man with a past of crime,
Some won't give a minute of their time.
People of color are hated because their skin,
by people on the outside not looking in.
People with no friends at all,
No one to catch them when they fall.
Cliques remain everywhere you go,
Some socially high, some low.
No one person is to blame,
For this fire we all let flame,
But is time to give up on hating,
Take action and stop procrastinating,
on all the talk that's been created
On the needed change being outdated.
