Humanity

Weak life flickers in their 

Lifeless eyes

All hope is gone

Diminished slowly

Though the cruel mistreatment

Disguised so wrongly as 

Harmless nothingness

Fully accepted, 

Never questioned 

We took control

Claimed what in truth

Was really never ours

Then grew angry

When their violence for the 

Injustice 

Finally took hold

How ignorant!

How selfish

To punish those

Who have themselves

Been wronged

Amazing! Very well done

Your words stun in their powerful expression that transcends time... from the lives of those brought back to life in Les Mis from hundreds of years ago to those struggling in Syria today, you paint a brilliant, dark image of us all. Amazing...

I think the picture you chose for this is perfect. Your poem is... well, brilliant. I was sitting in my chair for a while blankly staring at my screen trying to figure out a way to describe what I wanted to say but first off, I'm lazy and secondly, I don't think it can be done. And if it can then I guess I just suck. The minds a complicated thing. I wish I could just take all of my thoughts at once and put them on paper, and have them actually make sense so I would know what's going on up there. Anywho, I'll shut up now. Sorry for the really lame review. Excellent poem. :)
