Last Chance For a Revolution
So anxious to get away from it all
Yet when alone
You crumble
You fall
Dying for attention
Starving for affection
All the words you combine
All those emotions you mention
Making statements
For meaningless acknowledgements
Never truly knowing
What they meant
Pitiful that this is your best
Praying in lonesomeness
For a message

Quit wasting your time
Looking for people online
Neighbors and strangers
Customers and cashiers
Lend these people
Your hands and ears
You are not
The only limping soul
Help this world
Place warmth
Where once stood cold
Donate to charity
Protest those above
In this world of cheapskates
We can't survive without love
I hope this message reaches you
And finds its way to your heart
And when you let it in
I pray it rips you apart
So you may allow strangers
Of all gender and color
To help you mend
As you selflessly restart
Life is too short
To live quiet and shameful
Be loving
Be caring
Be giving
Be faithful
Yet when alone
You crumble
You fall
Dying for attention
Starving for affection
All the words you combine
All those emotions you mention
Making statements
For meaningless acknowledgements
Never truly knowing
What they meant
Pitiful that this is your best

Wow. I really enjoyed this. This can apply to anyone who is more than a little shelfish. It made me think of myself. And I wonder if I could be doing enough to make this world a better place. Great message, sir!

Feeling alot of compassion through this, its a poem that needs to be repeated because people with " meaningless acknowledgements" need to be told to , Let Love In:
Be loving
Be caring
Be giving
Be faithful
A fine work of art ta!
