Before/Poem Share by MwsR

Noble was in the days that are gone and long past

When people stood for something and that kind of thing would last

Instead of falling for anything.

Now, they are just passive things.

Wisdom is a forgotten virtue

No one  really looks to gain knowledge, do you?

They let the internet tell them things.

They don’t try to live smarter, just to see what living can bring.

People no longer treat each other with respect

They tend to think only about themselves and  then have no regret.

Honor used to be earned

Now it is forgotten and disregarded.

What has happened to this world we live in?

You have better luck finding a foe than a friend.

Keeping your values strong through generation after generation

Is hard and almost obsolete in this nation.

When did our world become a dog eats dog type of world?

Why do we let people struggle rather than take them aboard?

We all are one people, despite race or creed

Didn’t you learn anything from watching a man bleed?

I call on all of us to give out a hand

Try to empower another, any kind of man.

Teach those young ones to walk in love and respect

Least you are the one that gets old and they neglect.

I urge you to stop and look around

There are so many that are lost and need to be found.

So many struggling, so many hopeless

You probably have already heard this

But I figured I would appeal

To that soul inside of you that makes this life real.

Go out and give love, not hate.

You will get back more than anyone will ever take.
