The Uprising Poem by louis rams

The Uprising

Rating: 4.9


throughout the world there is civil war and unrest.
peoples patience being put to the test.
how much more can they take
before it becomes much too late.

when will these countries open up their eyes
and listen to the peoples battle cry.
what will it take for these countries to see
that they need unity.

clean up your own home, before it's too late
and let the people gain your faith.

don't destroy all their dreams
show a spark of light, that can be seen.

feed the hungry and help the poor
listen to their voices and hear their shouts
this is what humanity should be about.

eighty percent of the populations
is low to middle class
and if this continues, that number will not last.

people are tired, and they gather in crowds
hear the whispers, fear the sounds.
as politicians and leaders of nations
hear the rumbles, feel their sensations.

they are tired of being pushed around
and are willing to tear your lives to the ground.

so open your eyes, before it's too late
and help save the human race.

very well said..a very concerned write...the war and peace of nations lies purely in the politicians hand...their genuine concern is required to bring about peace in the world..they have their priorities fixed only in power and their respective parties they represent..i had written a poem..' the alien rule'...please read
