Why I Write

The emotion is very strong throught the poem. Its definitly one of my favorites. amazing job 5/5

I left my vote of 5 before but I forgot the comment, I'm glad I know the reason why you write and even more that you know the reason why you write. I feel that by knowing then the poems turn out better.

Edit: it adds a value to the words.( in my opinion)

I love the way you start your poem and the way you end it...simple but very touchy.

~I feel reborn, i feel anew,
struggling daily to make my home a
better place for my unborn sons and daughters

I love how you write it. Very well written:))

The children sleeping
on empty stomachs

^This image here is heart wrenching. We see'it everyday of young children go hungry for days
and no one is there to help!

Motherless, fatherless, they roam
the streets confused,
in search of a safe haven but they
are met with stray bullets and war mongers

^Its moments like this that children are
vulnerable and people with bad intentions
have a weak point to get hold of them. This
stanza paints the pain and helplessness of a
child.

As young as 15, they are made
to be men, going to war with guns
taller than them while the young
girls pleasure men as old as 50

^It just makes you think how the people in
this world can be cruel to a child in unthinkable
ways!

I feel reborn, i feel anew,
struggling daily to make my home a
better place for my unborn sons and daughters

^A heart felt ending and I pray and hope that
relief comes to all these children..nicely penned :)

So many thoughts and problems to think about. As a race have we progressed or regressed with time? Food for thought!

Excellent thoughts transcribed to words.

Excellent write!
