My poem: Is anyone listening, does anyone care?

Post by Quest for the Ark »

Is anyone listening, does anyone care?

The truth you seek, this is all i ask,
so please listen to the fore-mentioned task.
If you care, then to you i say,
find your peace, find your way.
Learn the ways of LOVE.
But first you must behold life with respect,
For it is written, just like the pure dove.

I have a question, and this is what i cry - WHY?
WHY?
Why is humankind so blind, ignorant and cruel?
Must we meet our match, and finally finish this duel?
The remembrance will continue, until this domain,
has seen every creature successfully slain.

It's not any easy understanding, many of you would cry.
If only man understood why he continues to lie.
For in the end he shall realise his way,
as his home and his planet is in ruins where it lays.

Pain and suffering should end and become sparce,
as materialism and greed is recognised as a farce.
begin to understand why so many of you fail to comprehend,
for it is in this way which shall bring about your end.

For you see, your soul, it is a gift of life,
so use it when in need, or facing the deepest of strife.
Complementing existence is the notion of LOVE,
so come on everybody, let's give each other a shove.

There are those that you thank,and others whom you blame,
without this projection, you would face your shame.
Looking back at the Almighy's decision,
to evolve humankind through a higher transition,
i must stop and wonder if you'll ever understand,
that life is a reward ... ... ... and not a demand.

You make a good point with this one. The title is perfect for it, too, I have to write. Nice. Post some more. We're all just a bunch of greedy readers here. :D
