A SHORT OBSERVATION OF MODERN SOCIOPOLITICAL REALITIES

Author:	Tobey Anderson

Poem:	A SHORT OBSERVATION OF MODERN SOCIOPOLITICAL REALITIES

	Shallow graves dot landscapes Marked by mud and rain. Nameless strangers disappear nightly Subjected to horror and pain. Crimes of power, will and greed Bring abominations without souls to power. Acts of brutality, evil and fear Cause innocents to hide and cower. Bombs fall from clouds in darkened skies To shatter, maim and destroy. Hapless soldiers and powerless bystanders Become pawns in someone else’s ploy. Children become victims In places they were told was home. Young eyes bear witness to atrocity And innocent hearts soon turn hard as stone. Mothers carry dead children Unable to let go of life. Soon they too fall victim In this merciless world of strife. 16 year old boys patrol borders Wearing trophies from victorious kills. Apathetic American housewives Vacuum floors while popping pills. Food given by sympathetic hands Become weapons of control and greed. Starvation soon overpowers fear Only to be buried like a shallow seed. H2’s roll suburban streets Feeding the need for oil. Fortunes won and lost On someone else’s soil. Diamonds on Rodeo Drive Silicon on TV and the big screen. Weapons that kill from 500 miles away Without ever being heard or seen. Bare feet on trails in the Congo Starvation and fear in peoples’ eyes. No conciliation to them That everyone eventually dies. The ghosts of nations walk the earth Bearing witness to unspeakable crime. Wrenched from their vessels too quickly They cry warnings to us for all time. Lessons taught by our predecessors Have fallen on deaf ears. One day the pain will overwhelm us Till the world is flooded in tears.

THINK

Author:	Jamie Maloney

Poem:	THINK

	think im not worthy think im a waste of your time I know you think im a fuck up you think about that the most But ... now the leaves are turning you put me through hell and more stop your bitching and complaining or someone will end up on the floor Your the reason i'm a fuck up Your the reason I cry Your the reason i hate my life Your the reason i'm slowly dieing Your the reason my life is so dull and boring right about now, i'm wondering why ... Your the reason i'm thinking Yet every so often i wonder WHY?
