A Poet's Roar

The irony of a sunny day
When planes crash
I'm sick of foreign policy
Anti-world peace
All profit
War perpetual

When politics is a muddy grave
I seek the ocean
Disillusion-fueled inspiration
Evolution ignition
For this mission of love

I look to my daughter
(Her smile
Making this man
Cry like a baby)
And hope that her generation
Will strike out harder
For a world based on humanity
And not domination

not to stop the flow of good will here, but I didn't think it was that great. try to use your own phrases instead of common ones like "cry like a baby" or "muddy grave" words that are commonly linked together in average writing or speak, it stops the flow of creativly thinking and makes it so you're just going with that you know. sorry if this upsets anyone, but I just want to be truthfull

Thank you all for your Congratulations and a Super Dope Pimp Fist to all those voted for this piece in the "Politika" Contest =D =) My two main inspirations are my daughter, Ciara and the constant watching at the end of last year of 9/11 clips on YouTube, thinking, "Squibs!! Explosive squibs!!!" Once again, Thank You all :) =) :D!!!!!! -Carlos

yeah i think it's safe to say my generation wants the humanity, but we have no clue how to obtain what we desire… we create "emo" (recreate some ideas taken from punk philosophy, romanticism, transcendentalism, and so forth…) and we cry and we scream and we want the change oh-so-much... but our actions don’t actually instigate the change…

Since now is the "me" generation - I sure as hell hope there will be a new generation that cares. Great Post!

i was drawn in by the first line, and the rest was wonderfully written..the transition of "i look to my daughter" was beautiful and really made me smile. excellent and true write.

i wouldn't be so optimistic about happy ending or even happy new beginning if you want

On Monday December 10th, 2007, Inevitability (643) writes:

need to be optimistic about something. the world's full of cynicism..hell, I'm full of it. but you can't smash this with any ball of hate: there is no more hope in the world than that enclosed inside the cynicism-free mind of a small child...it's the only thing that ever gives me hope..

I'd tip my hat twice to you for this one. First line was wonderful... How ironic indeed... If only a little sunshine did in fact make us better people...
