Alive, <br />Alive, <br />Only wanting to feel <br />The things that are real, <br />And nothing in between. <br /> <br />Still, <br />Still, <br />Those around have no knowledge <br />Of the events surrounding them. <br /> <br />Rest, <br />Rest, <br />People who continue <br />Working hard for every <br />Paycheck. <br />Shortly it could come to an end. <br /> <br />Gone, <br />Gone, <br />Houses are being foreclosed on, <br />At a faster pace, Then in any <br />Previous decade. <br /> <br />Pray, <br />Pray, <br />Those who believe <br />That your god will <br />decide to forgive your sins. <br /> <br />Fix, <br />Fix, <br />Your attitude toward those <br />not from our country, <br />Give them the same opportunity <br />That our ancestors once had. <br /> <br />Love, <br />Love, <br />Many hearts lost amongst <br />Those who say they are in “love” <br />If they only could see <br />Personalities are always changing, <br />Many are simply not meant to be. <br /> <br />Concerned, <br />Concerned, <br />Those who are bothered <br />About a politician’s personal life, <br />Rather than with the policies <br />At hand. <br /> <br />Power, <br />Power, <br />Nations are always at war <br />Their hunger can never be contained, <br />as people continue to die, <br />They remain indifferent. <br /> <br />America, <br />America, <br />You have finally fallen <br />Wake up <br />From this slumber that you are in, <br />Let’s care for one another again, <br />And no longer live in fear. <br /> <br />End, <br />End, <br />Everyone will eventually succumb to their own failures <br />And will finally have no excuses <br />To fall back on for all their actions.<br /><br />Corey Thomas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alive-still-2/
