Monkey Airplane Soldier
Be kind, please rewind.
A Political Poem
By the silver fire


Something to say
Something to want
Everyone knows we try
Gotta get it out
Away and through
Out through your fingers, your lips, your eyes
The world needs
to know what we
have to say
They've far too long
Run everything
It's our turn.
Yet we, like fools, half-turn our backs
On the only hope
is unity
Find the art, the beauty, the truth
In this chaos we know as Earth
Find what makes us who we are
And teach it to the rest
spread it out
like butter on bread
to warm and help and heal
If we're the future
Then we must BE the future
A new generation dawns.

A new generation dawns.




"Be the change you wish to see in the world."
-Ghandi

Wait...did you, Claire and Emma all write that together? Because that's really cool!! And REALLY inspirational!!! I absolutely LOVE the last four lines...those are the kinds of lines that make my spine tingle....and I love the quote from Ghandi you put in the bottom.

Great work guys....I-....I don't even know what to say. It's beautiful.

@ Maya; Actually, only I wrote this....I think Jessie was just saying that since we three tend to post a lot of poems and stuff....and thank you very much!!! I think those are some of the best lines, too....you're very sweet! Thank you!

@Jessie; Thank you also! Gosh, I can't believe you guys like this.....okay, I spend like, FOREVER on some poems, and post them and nobody comments, or I just decide they're shitty, but then I just don't know what to write in my journal, and I happen to be thinking about this sort of thing, so I just let it out, and then you guys like, really like it!!! It doesn't make any sense!!! sweatdrop

Anywho, thanks. sweatdrop

Oh, sweetie, if you wanna put one up, GO FOR IT!! Honestly, the main reason I sometimes don't respond to some of your poems is because I don't always understand them so I feel like a moron, and I don't want to demean your poems, so I wait until someone else comments.

See what an a** I am?

You're not an a**, you're just shy.
You're the only person I know who could get those two things confused.... rofl

Okay, well, next time, I don't care if you think you don't get it, comment! When I go to art fairs or read peoples' poems or anythign like that, I don't always get it either, but art isn't for "getting." There's always a million ways to interpret it, that's what's so great! So you see, honey, you CAN'T be wrong. Being wrong about interpreting it your own way doesn't EXIST. HAHAHA sorry I'll stop that now. sweatdrop
