POEMS VII

Only Love

Only love can save the world now
Hate has taken over
Filling places with pain and suffering.
So many people hurt
And there is nothing that can be done
Lies are told
pretending to try and make people believe
But the lies just make more hate.
Where did the love go?

Still

I have not given up yet
I still believe that good will prevail
That hate will disappear
And peace will reign
Maybe I'm naive
Maybe I'm living in a fantasy
But at least I still have hope
That everything will work out some how.

Dreams

So many dreams fill my head,
will any ever come true?
As I lie awake at night I wonder,
What does the future hold?
I wish I had a way to see,
Just what will happen.
Will my dreams come true,
Or will they all simply fade away?
I wish that there was something I could do
To make all my dreams a reality.

Again

I thought about you again today
I thought I was ok now
But someone mentioned your name
And all the hurt returned
A wave of memories came crashing down
Suffocating me
Filling me with pain again
Just because someone said your name

Tragedy

It's a tragedy
But no one sees
The pain, the suffering
All ignored
Dealing with others
But forgetting our own
So many people hurt
Hungry
Homeless
Jobless
Sick
Poor
Yet they are ignored
They don't seem to matter
Nothing is done to help
Instead the rich get richer
And the poor can do nothing
But die
Such a tragedy
But does anyone care?

Try To Say Goodbye

The time has come
For me to say goodbye
I thought I was ready
To let you go
But I was wrong
I'm not
I want to hold you one more time
Tell you I love you just one more time
I need you to tell me why you died
What was the point?
I miss you
More than I ever thought possible
And I can't say goodbye
Because that means you are really gone
And I will never see you again.
I want to wake up from this nightmare
And see you again
But I know that won't happen
So I try to say goodbye

Without you

Without you
I feel lost
Like a part of me is missing
You're gone
And there is nothing I can do
I watch and wait
Hoping you'll return
Hoping that everything will be ok
But without you
I have no hope
I am no longer optimistic
That things will be as they should
Instead the world is a crazy place
Where nothing makes sense anymore.
I wonder if peace is just dream
Because without you,
That's all it seems to be.

Freedom

I used to think I knew what Freedom meant
But the term is quickly losing that meaning
People are no longer allowed to say what they think
Fearing the backlash
And fearing for their life
I thought freedom meant that you could say what you wanted
Not what you were forced to say
I thought freedom meant that you could think what you wanted
But it seems I was wrong
Freedom seems to be nothing
You're only free if you believe what people tell you to believe
And that's not free at all.
