A long,long road to walk.
We have no time to look back.
On the life we had lived and the one that went off track.
To look back now would be just so painful
To see all who we have hurt along our destructive path.
To bad for us we didnt do the math.
There are choices and an equal effect
But what we didn't see was ultimatly our destruction.
That humanity need compassion for one another to function.
For those who realized early one,
Live your life with compassion,take one chance if you only have one.
For if you don't now you will walk this long long road with the sun.
This world has but, not one problem though many.
The wars and deaths, uneccesary hate.
This is all from the power hungary leaders, we just took the bate.
We are on that long long road.
No compassion for them or oursleves.
having to greet each day to the chime of funeral bells.

I like the power behind the poem, but a few spots don't really flow too well. I love the meaning though. Good job.
