A poor child
sitting on a rock
shivering , quivering
fearing from the clock
as every second passes by
increases his suffering
increases his torment
increases his pain
from this merciless world !
All around us
are similar people
suffering most of their lives
but we cant see them
we cant see what they are going through ..
how they feel ..
thats because we are blind ..
blind to reality ..
we see only what we want to see ..
unaware of what is going on ..
and unless that is changed ..
we will never be free ..
bound to eternal darkness ..

This world can be merciless So many homeless so much hunger and hate. This write made me think about it all. Thank you for sharing this with us
-
What a sad and dark poem. It give truth. A harsh truth that people needed to change. You give out you message quite nicely.
-
Your message is very true, many people turn a blind eye for fear of letting any unpleasantness disrupt their life. Great write, thank you for entering the contest. Good luck.

Bravo bravo Bravooooo
Absolutely amazing..
as I read through the poem, I stressed on every line or twist or word to find something that'll stumble me..
But there was absolutely nothing to hinder the magnificence of this piece, truly worthy of a trophy.
It in all, has flowed endlessly beautiful, and there's no need to tell you how far have you hit me with this truth-daring, astute, and simple approach to a point of view well chosen.
Imma bookmark this, because it so far is your best poem ever assembled.
GOOD WORK POET..
wayyyyy to go

We never know what another is going though in life. That is why we need to be considerate of others. Excellent write so full of emotion. Good luck in the contest and thanks for entering
-
i like it actually. crude unrefined biting with raw emotion. yeah. it's good. the whole gist of the poem. so very true. it's always easier to block out the bad right? just push it down into nothingness. well eitherway that's what we seem to do correct.
good luck!
