For the children we can!

Author: Unknown

The world around us is dying
they say they can help but are they trying
children with no place to live
rich people who refuse to give
humanity is ugly if we won't help the small
it will affect us all
have we gotten so compleasent that we don't care
that we poison our own air
the planet we walk on everyday
is simply rotting away
garbage lines the street we drive
but hey we will thrive
if we are even still alive
if we all did just our part for our kids
they will do what there parents did
if we would stop just talking about it and actually try
maybe some people won't have to die
donate a dollar or don't throw trash on the ground
or maybe return the wallet you found
let's remember we are all human and live on this earth
and recall our childrens worth

About this poem:

I really feel this way, if everyone out there just tried to be the best person they could be imagine how much better ythe world could be. I know this sounds childish or like something a pagent queen may say, but I think it is so true. So many times we allow ourselves to not be good human beings whether someone else makers us mad or that we just claim we don't have the time or money or whatever, we allow ourselves to not be the best people we can be and I think it's sad. The world is dying but we as a whole kind of say, hey we'll deal with it tomorrow and it's saqd. And the thing I think is the saddest is I do it too and if everyone in the world took five minutes to make a difference could you image...The whole world united in one thing for five minute, one thing that would help us all for five minutes....Anyone like that is reality and I swear I am not psycho enviromentalist ( not that there is anything wrong with that ) But really I know I could try harder at being a better human being...Thanks for the time *lol*

Wow, sounds like u said so much that needed sayin', SO well ! n I agree 100%. Children r the future of this planet, n who needs all those crazy t.v. shows that try to out-shock us with trama, drama n horror stories. They have only to look around , n ask what messages r young people really getting ? Most r raising themselves. We all must try harder 4 their sake, to make a better world. Great poem ! aware3
