You Name It

The downfall of mankind
Is not told by prophecies
But is told by actions
War
Genocide
We cannot contemplate our faults
For we believe we are the greatest creation
In my eyes
We are all relatively stupid
Over-ruled by the wrong of everything
We act as if we are
Oh so greatly divine
Yet our textbooks tell of
Racism
Hatred
-God created us in his image
Us ourselves tainted the picture.

Hey my sister..how goes the

Hey my sister..how goes the life in flowers? Loved the poem, so true...I'd love to see more of these if you got em! You're so so bright for your age, it's amazing. Keep your eyes open to this world, that's how differences are made is the people who see the world for what it is and envision solutions. So keep it up girl! Hippies use side door cuz we'll change the world someday and come out on top of the roof!!!! This poem is powerful in it's simplicity, something along the lines of what Lennon himself would have written. Brilliant! Peace and Love Katie
