Fumbling blindly,
On a bright sunny day.
Groping in the dark,
All others are at play.

Sitting in my corner,
Feeling alone and sad.
Sitting in my corner,
Wondering why they’re so glad.

The world around us,
Crumbling at our hands.
The world around us,
Trying to achieve our demands.

We cause the trembling,
Late at night.
We cause the trembling,
Choosing to fight.

We seem so blinded,
Happiness in sight,
We seem so blinded,
Our weapons causing fright.

Calling out silently,
Lonely in the night.
Calling out silently,
As we try to break their might.

A man kills many,
Gets patted on the back.
A man kills many,
Now prisons where he’s at.

The difference here,
One gets pay.
No difference here,
The shirtless bodies lay.

The power to choose,
Each one of us alone.
The power to choose,
They think we’ve won,
Really we lose.

The ones who say,
Our violence is too much,
“Guard you children,”
but to war they rush.

I’ve read this one before but thought I would say some thing this time. I like the poem as a whole, but the part that stands out to me is the end.

I think just like your running, your finish is the best, well strongest part. Good write and wonderful finish! ~Adam

It's a good poem. I agree with the "I told you so attitude." I am still trying to decide if I like the repitition or not though. It makes seem powerful, but then a little forced as well.

thats how life is, and in this poem, it does feel the tension of "I told you so" in it...

I couldn't agree more with everyone. Great structure and I love how it all winds down with an awsome conclusion. *J*
