Come Together

The reason I wrote this poem for us as writers we have the gift to spread verbally miracles across the world. In order for this world to strive is that we all come together

Confusion and chaos this world is being torn 

Killing the innocents, striking the recipients

It doesn't take much for us to learn our mistakes

Why go down the long road riding the path of destruction

What are we showing the youngsters, the new generation

We're supposed to be demonstrating the highlight of our love

Taking risks is not an option nor an obligation

For as every decision we make has an expiration

In order for us to renew this Earth of promise

We must gather together and illuminate our nation

Think of the signs of our demise from earthquakes to falling skies

Because the earth is crying, seeing no signs of hope or faith

Look at the tsunamis' crashing down on our cities 

And the sick twisters tearing down the homes of families

Lets fill the world and stretch out our knowledge  

The disasters from these calamities is trying to show us a message

It is to bring us closer together and mend the changes of the weather

Don't pass by the homeless, because they miss the life they once had

Countless memories and longing to have something of their own

As every child has a story to tell in the midst of their confusion

The dreams of a child is very rare visually uplifting their imagination

They pick up the pieces and make sense of who they are

Not knowing that their destinies are already intertwined

I've made my point, pouring out the heart of my love

Because I too, was a child filled with a sense of inspiration

So why don't everyone come together and become one HEART

Filled to the brim with love co-existing in each other

This vivid world hears the cries of the dread 

The faint calls of distress is not what it wants best

Spread the love and make sense of who you are 

Pick up the pieces and you can become whole

So as I declare, In God we trust

Let Earth go back to its profound beauty

 

Author's Note

I really want this world to become a better place. It would do our consciences well if we have an inheritance and legacy to move on. All of this is possible if we come together

Beautiful. The theme and idea is very wholesome while the mood in which it was spoken added true beauty in the piece. Although there is a lack of symbolism or implying concepts, It was very direct in presentation of the meaning. Great piece.

Beautiful.. Pen On..

I do not disagree with you at all, in fact, I embrace this effort wholeheartedly. However, this world is filled with selfish "ME" people who couldn't care less what is going on past their noses. Those are the people who need to be convinced and I don't see that happening unless their is money involved. Great poem, though.

[Fernando Pessoa]

I'm with you on this one completely. Get too many news feeds; read of way too many horrors that flood the world. We can do it together; make a world of peace. Thank you for the inspiration!

I really liked this, it is a very popular topic. I think we all want this world to be a better place but at the same time we all know that won't happen.... Ha, it was a great, detailed write and you put a lot of thought, honesty and heart into it.

[Alexander Rodgers]

I like this a lot, you put a ton of heart into it. I disagree with the comment below, it's not a dry topic, one that's widely overlooked I think, and you did a good job of adding your own opinion to it. The free verse you use is interesting and you have your own voice as a writer, keep up the good work!

Thanks :)

Anytime man

Interesting poem, but a thoroughly used topic, a bit dry because of the overuse, but nothing to worry about.

"Countless memories and longing to have something of their own"---this line doesn't make so much sense

"I've made my point, pouring out the heart of my love"---somewhat cliche line, but if you want to use it swap love and heart.

"So why don't everyone come together and become one HEART"---again, a little cliche and don't should be doesn't. Heart probably shouldn't be used so close to another line with the same word, so keep that in mind.

"This vivid world hears the cries of the dread"----either dread should be dead, which would be a little cliche, or "hears cries of dread"

Nice attempt at an inspirational poem, you're on the right track. Thanks for letting me be the first to review.
