A quiet place

A quiet place to spend my nights
time to unwind
so much pressure in this life of mine
i cried at times
i feel like
this world just ain't for me
look at the mess
this place ain't fit to raise kids
I've seen young kids
selling by the roadside
for years
whatever they can get in their hands
politicians lie
right through their teeth
look into my eyes
you just released the beast
for real
instead of war on poverty
they got a war on weed
its a drug, no, whats up with this brainwashing
it's a herb, it grew from a seed
all these politicians talking about change
hey, guess what, we're still waiting...

    your word strik my hearts core and lights the fire in me this is one of the best poems that I have read in along time. I love how powerful your poems are I love the way they show the big picture of whats really going on in our world. I can see you write with your heart and soul. you have a great passion within yourself.

    First of all, thanks for adding me as a favorite, that was very kind of you =] You're poetry is very different from what I'm used to reading, much less anything I've ever read. It's very real, making it even stronger and maybe even harsh, but not in the bad sort of way, in the eye-opening sort of way. Keep writing!

    Interesting

    I can see the picture here, and its not very pretty. I've grown up in my own little world, trying to escape everything around me. But, it doesn't mean I don't still see the crap that goes on in 'reality'. I like this a lot. Good job!

    from what i have read so far, you make me sad.
    i have lived in the slums my hole life, and just got out of it, and still struggling to have a good quality of life, but you take me back.
    is that a good thing that you remind me of my roots?
    i don't know. but you get a passion in me fired up, and that is never a bad thing.

    great write

    so much pain and hatred.. this world is full of it.. although i am still considered a child by many, there is many children being beaten and tortured... no time to be a child, always forced to grow up too fast. so many ignore it.. thank you for being brave enough to write about it..
