This is a response to anisha's "Success"


Just Listen

We people of honor and integrity

Are blinded by power and unable to see

Our purpose to live a life that’s sound

Yet our purpose in turn is hidden underground

We people of belief and maturity

Are deaf to purposes dawning key

We care for ourselves and curse the outcome

Funny how our ignorance seems really dumb

Why am I one person who seems to care

About life relations to the fresh air

We people of promise and glow

Have to understand and desperately know

That we the only people who can change

The outcomes of life no matter how strange

These words are as strong as your notion

And as deep as your mind's oceans

Only you can make a solid choice

To erase the past and use your voice

Maybe as the time does go away

The words that surround you will stay

This was most definitely one of the greatest poems I've read in a long time. Great flow and excellent rhyming and with such a deep and important message!
Very well written indeed.
