~untitled~

Look at them below
running around from place to place
so many things to be done
but they feel like they have to
little time

Sheltered in their little bubbles
unaware of the world that
surrounds their being
unable to see the true reflection
of humanity

They go ahead trying to deal
with their "oh so tragic problems"
while their world screams in agony
it screams for their help
but they cannot hear
why?

If only they would slow down
If only they would open their eyes
and free their minds

then maybe they will see the true
face of pain
the true face of hatred
the true face of the human race

and when they will see
only then will they be able to
change it

but until that day
they will carry on with their
busy lives
in there sheltered little
bubbles.

    This is a great poem, and it conveys a strong message! I also like the concept of everyone being in their own bubbles, oblivious to the world outside of them, because that very much describes modern society. Nice job!
