Responsibility, a heavy load
ways me down, and makes me feel the pressure
action, words - politics all a code
and people's actions, all I must measure
the things I have seen fill me with wonder
those I have met, quite often a pleasure
but below the surface, throwing all asunder
corruption can be found, justice weaker than a feather
so much I have heard in my very few years
I view all with cynical suspicion.
more than once I've had to wipe away tears.
To see the world's goodness, I haven't permission
Yet I must remember I'm only seventeen
and their is so much out there I haven't yet seen
Yes Jack, there is an abundance of good and wonder out there too. Great poem, you are very talented. 10 from Tai
