I see he has inherited his mothers talent.
A poem that not only flows but speaks of logical things.
Excellent and I hope we get to enjoy more of his work in the future..

Meena, TJ is correct, he has your talent for writing. Shows a great deal of maturity in his understanding of the world today. The last verse conveys hope for a better world and with people like your son it is indeed possible. Tell him this is a good thing and really enjoyed his poem.

First of all, he has his mother's talent, no doubt about that...

From just reading the first stanza, i could really relate to it. As human beings we claim to know it but there are some things that are beyond us, that even our brains can not make out.

The second stanza really goes deep. Its indeed true, there are other races that want to dominate others. They are selfish and dont want others to be at par with them.

The rich get rich while the poor get poorer, the second stanza so tells. There are people with billions, money that they wont even spend all even if they reached 200hundred years of age and yet they cant help others. They are self absorbed and are full with pride. They should look at countries like Sudan, somalia and see whats happening there.

Animals are suffering in many places in the world. All due to man's practices.

I really loved the ending, how the writer tells the reader that Earth still has a chance, that it can become a better place with man plays his cards right, by getting rid of the wrongs that have engulfed this earth...5

Your son has talent, how old is he?

Meena, you must be proud of your kid.What he wrote shows he's been well brought up. Lovely piece.

'Like Mother Like Son' :)

Today's generation is more occupied with games & themselves. Reading a poem with world's problem & a hope in end....well that surely gives us a hope too. He must continue and share some more soon.

Am glad you posted it under your account.

Poem of 2012 indeed.

all the best and take care

I love this stanza~

We state to be the strongest race of our kind
yet are frail both in body and mind,
we believe to be peaceful and care for all
yet wage war against others building a wall.

The "wall" must go down- as you're main goal...it's reality indeed! great work! 5/5!

Woww your son got the talent :)

/but do not know everything the sun portrays// I loved the way it's written. beautifullu expressed.
very strong questions asked. well written :)

Insightful, laced with humilty and idealism, as should be from a young mind. Poetic creativity inherited in the genes.
