Action

I live in a time of fear

In a time the media dominates

Every moves is caught and scrutinized

Action is not apart of the vocabulary

 

What is there to be proud of?

Everything seems to be “bling bling” and “ice” covered

While the core is a generation of hardships

People are dying everyday

Others lives are at stake

 

I look up to the elders

The trustworthy elders

That damned us into war

They had a voice

They were not afraid to raise it in youth

With the flag they adored

Why are we in this war?

What is the purpose?

Where are the young rebels today?

Who will be fighting?

When will it end?

How will it end?

 

For war of questions

A war where the ends meet

And continues for time’s end

Action is needed

you're a good poet!! get it published in BIG

i think it's even sadder that action doesn't even seem to exist these days because we have the most opportunity now than ever to express our opinions, but we're too caught up in ourselves to see that we're REALLY not the only ones in the universe.

I love this poem. You sound like a hippie, and we really need more of them.

Please! Not another poem!! After a while, it gets annoying. WHy is everyone copying each other? When someone writes one poem, another one pops up.
