My Moment of Realization

This came to me right out of the blue. I was thinking very deeply on how people treat eachother in the world and I realized how much I wish I could change it.

Today I had a vision
Of a future oh so bad
What could make me feel this?
For what I saw was so sad
I need to take a moment
To tell you all what is true
If you are not kind to me
I can not be kind to you
There are too many evils
In this world and in the air
For me to want to be your friend
Or for me to even care
So take a break from brutality
Maybe even lend a helping hand
May you aid the fallen
It is time to take a stand
Murder, death and torture
Have become a part of our daily life
We just let it happen
As if ignoring it was suffice
We cut, we smoke, we drink, we use,
I guess everyone has a fix and a flaw
I myself have my share of undesirable marks
If I didn’t I would not be me at all
The point of my simple words
May be difficult for some of you to see
I suppose all I really want to say
Is accept me for me
Be kind to the strangers
Who knows where they have been
And stand up for the broken
We all know they need a friend

I can feel this is something straight from the heart. The choice of words and sentence is casual enough for me to see it from a point of view of an individual person. I like how some part of it rhymes.Nicely and casually done!

Good themed poem, with nicely worded lines. It reads a bit long in that format, perhaps if split into a few verses?

You have a start to something very good here. Keep at it!

The word you were looking for was “epiphany”, might have helped you out a little. Also, I’m guessing your not Canadian…

Thank you everyone for all your comments.

Also, yes Mr. Peterson that is exactly the word =] and No I am not Canadian I am from Michigan.

everyone should care enough to help anyone whether they know them or not. we as people are our own worst enemy, and only we can change it.

Nice poem, and yes it would be great if we could all live by those standards, what a better world it would be.
