"We are all that we are."


The world is just a place for people to throw their problems,
When the fighting breaks out there is blood,
Blood spilled over,
It mixes with the problems - swirling and dancing.

Grief bottled up and sold for pennies,
Pennies from a dead man's eyes collected,
Held,
Broken,
Cracked and splattered like paint over hands.

And to think,
To think that we could have saved everyone,
If they had held their problems in,
And spit them out,
Just like everybody else.


The author's comments:
This poem is not a wish for wold peace, but a hope that someday everyone will just get along with one another. When people read my work I want them to be able to see who I am in it. I want them to feel changed, like I gave them something they didn't have before.
