Alone,Surrounded

Alone,Surrounded

A Poem by BlaqkShadow
"

This is about the world around us. It's in the most basic writing style, this is the first poem I've written in about 3 years please be gentle!

"
We are alone, we are surrounded.
The screaming and the children's cries
The hatred and all the lies
No wonder God is cutting ties
The leaders that we so despise
Have only money in their eyes.
We are alone, we are surrounded.
The tears and blood shed in the night
Even though it isn't right
Their faces simply are not white
So they're not allowed to fight
All else call it a 'plight'
It replaces 'basic human right'.
We are alone, we are surrounded.
From refugees suffering in the rain
To a world collapsing under strain
Calling humans and animals a 'drain'
When ALL humans are just a stain,
Unable to co-exist to stop the pain,
We are the universe's ultimate shame.
We are alone, we are surrounded.
How could we be so easily led?
To start wars and not care for those that fled?
To not ensure that every child  is fed
To fill ourselves with terror and dread
Because that's what 'our leaders' have said
So fill yourselves with hope dear friends
With peace and love and maybe then
I guess after that it all depends
If we do not learn to mix and blend,
We know this may well be the end.
We are alone, but we're surrounded
So for once lets prove our fears unfounded
Reach out, hold on, and know this lesson:
Love alone makes the hatred lessen.

The outline and style of the poem is simple, but I think that thats a good thing. It doesn't distract from the message that you're trying to convey at all. It's very distant, as if someone were narrating it from outside of our world, and I love it. Keep it up!
