Just so much wrong in this world
Never to be made right
All dead
Simply for greed
They were all innocent
It is not Now
It was back then
Yet Now
It is Now!
We once thought bad language was bad
We made incredible slingshots
Threw firecrackers over the neighbouring fence
Watched the frogs climb from the septic tank
But now there is far too much more to shock us
Eyes now wide open
Sometimes wishing to close
Where will we be...
In future soon?
Can greed be turned?
There is a possibility....
If We all follow just one God
For there, ...Can only be one
The law
The killing
Police now marching with guns
To commemorate 100 Years of our Diggers
What was it all for?
Why?
We all have been a beautiful child
Now we want to protect our own.
Their future
It is no longer...
The Cowboys and The Indians
The Cops and Robbers
Now it is Life or Death
There has to be
Some Miracle
Some Beautiful Miracle Out there!

Simply for greed! ! ! To hit the nail on the head. Nice work.
Yes, dear Lyn, of the good and open heart, the miracle is called Hope, but even hope is being murdered in a world of insane and uncontrolled Dopes. This wonderful poem present in a most clear and natural way the insecurities and horror of our times, and questions our human sanity. Good work. If more people read this or thought about it, maybe there could be some change, somewhere somehow.
A Wonderful write Lyn. I liked the unique lines.... Threw firecrackers over the neighbouring fence Watched the frogs climb from the septic tank... We need to protect our own future as well as those who are dependent on us. There has to be some Miracle, lets hope Miracle plays its role one day..Beautiful presentation. Loved reading each lines..

Bad and good in life is inseparable to the end is because it balance the weight of the world, as long day has night and as long as black still contrast the white, bad never end, it just us who can put the place where it should be at...
