Have you ever seen?

by AnCi   Feb 22, 2009


Have you ever seen a politician tell the truth?
Have you ever seen a solider surreneder, though he knows he'll die?
Have you ever seen a teen waste his/hers youth?
Have you ever seen a baby born without a cry?

I have seen politicians who always lie.
I have seen soliders die with pride.
I have seen teens that had to die.
I have seen baby's that have gone blind.

I have also seen a father's tears when his only daughter moves away.
I have seen the heaven, the moon and the stars.
I have seen a mother's pain when her son says that he can't stay.
But still i haven't seen any plans to stop these never ending wars!

    That was very beautiful. A lot of emotion is flying around, but I really liked. It's like jumping in a freezing river and feeling the cold rush around you. Great job, 5/5.

    Very simple and scattered, not necessarily a bad thing... To put it bluntly, I didn't catch what you're trying to say here. First stanza, are the answers supposed to be yes, or no? It's a mix of the two... And second stanza, you aren't exactly following the same pattern as before, creating confusion for the reader. And the third stanza was a little random, but the last line sounds like you're focusing on the soldiers with [wars].
