Another mini adult tries to act grown.
What happened to the dreams of a child?
What happened to the wonder of the unknown?
What happened to a young heart truly wild?
Walk passed another person without a glance.
Where is the human compassion I hear of?
Where is the brave soul who will take a steady stance?
Where is the human heart? Where is lasting love?
Another baby is gone never to see light.
When did we start ignoring painful cries?
When did we go deaf and when did we loose our sight?
When did we all begin to shut out the wise?
Another woman is hurt when she's alone.
How did we lose respect for what is right?
How can we turn our head from a weakened moan?
How can they be left without some help to fight?
Another depressed soul walks to the edge.
Another tear rolls as they fall to lie.
Another fragile soul is left to a cold ledge,
and all I can do is cry and ask you why.

Hood-Winked!
This is a really powerful poem - I really like the message that your words bring to the reader - and the unapologetic way that they do it
very nicely done - I really liked the repitition of the title words!
Keep writing

Gheeze I love your poetry! Like I said, you've got an amazing way with words. I don't think I've seen anything like this before. Then again, I only read poetry when the title sounds interesting. Great job again!

It's as though a apathy shrouds us; fogs us in so all we see is our own small worlds. Well written piece.
"Another tear rolls as they fall to lie." typo- "die"?

Title: "why" should come before "how."
Typo: "loose" should be "lose."
Not bad. Definently ask these questions myself. Pretty good rhythm and good rhymes. Sad though.
