Peace at the Bottom

Complaints of shattered dreams of wealth.

Money falling from the sky.

True value is found in good health.

True worth is found when we die.

Division is influenced by our head.

Religion is a bedtime story.

Beliefs only prepare the dead.

For an afterlife of glory.

Race has driven humanity to hate.

Harmony and love we'll never find.

Killing each other thus deciding one's fate.

Death is colorblind.

All anger is an ocean so try not to drown.

We need the hatred to stop.

The bottom is merely six feet down.

Take advantage of being on top.

Wow! That was powerful! I love the deepness, it's refreshing to find a poem that's not about love or the weather! This poem really makes you think and the messages are very clear. It doesn't rely on large words or cliche topics to be considered good. I can't find one thing wrong with it and I think this is my new favorite piece of writing! Great job, and I can't wait to read more. Please keep it up. I think people need to hear what you have to say! :)
