Us

Every face has an eye, every eye has a sight,
To seek and know, what is wrong and right.
Every sight has a vision, every vision has a dream.
And every dream has a future, to find, to fight.

Every face has an ear, every ear hears a tale,
Of good and bad, success or fail.
Every tale has an end, every end has a hope,
And every hope can live no matter fire or hail.

Every face has a heart, every heart has a soul,
To lead the world to that one last goal.
Every soul has a voice, to speak and to trust,
And every voice, is one of us.

Author's Note

I'm full of spontaneity tonight. For a human rights contest.

Second poem I've written recently, for the first time in years. Maybe I'll get back in poetry, it's certainly a very different type of creation than prose.

Reviews

[Speak in Silence]

You have know clue how much I love this! I wish you the best of luck :)

[FocusedAmnesia]

I kind of just 'Eeked' out loud. That is so beautifully written. Just reading it, it's filled with power. Speaking it out loud = 10 times that.

[Jesse Jacques]

I like it veryy much, it's different and well written.

[Raven Starhawk]

Poetic brilliance does not sum it up but is the best I can muster as I sit here under a blistering ray of sunshine. This was just amazingly penned.

[Steven Cash]

Entity Sylvir, this is a stellar poem. Very well written

You said it's for human rights contest. Could you elaborate? Was it like an 'all life is precious' or a 'treat everyone the same'?

[Treo LeGigeo]

Oh, that was pretty much it, actually. It was someone on deviantart requesting human rights themed art or literature. I have a link if you like, but it doesn't go into much more detail.

Thank you very much!

Beautiful and full of hope. Sometimes it is necessary to believe. Thanks for sharing.
