You Can

This is a challenge. :))

You Can

 

It is evident that the world’s gone from bad to worse, but

You can turn it around like a knight on a beautiful black horse.

 

Depression, anger and fear have consumed the people’s hearts, but

You can be the sliver of hope that would slash these emotions apart.

 

Man has turned his back on his own brother, but

You can be the mutual friend who can reconnect them together.

 

Mother Earth’s been suffering from the greediness of man, but

You can take the first step into restoring everything under the sun.

 

They’ll say all of these will be in vain cause it’s just too late, but

You can turn a deaf ear and go changing fate.

 

You may try to run, act blind and simply throw this aside, but mind you,

You can never, ever hide.

Author's Note

*bites nails*
Yay to my first poem! Well, not counting the ones that i made as a requirement during my elementary years, because i can't remember them anymore. :)) As you can see, I'm really not good at playing with words (that's why I don't write poems, well, at least not until now). The poem's very straight forward. But I swear that I really, really tried my best (specially with the rhymes :">). =)) So, please comment (and be gentle! *bats eyelashes*).

P.S. I really hope this inspired you. I knooow, I'm too ambitious. HAHA.

Congrats on a very nicely made poem! :) It's got a good flow to it and walks us through sets of connections, all leading to the Earth and how if we don't alter our current course, we won't be able to hide from the effects of our misdeeds.

Thanks for sharing your creativity!

Very well written poem with an important message. I like the part about hope yet the ending of this is very true. You can't escape the world and what happens to it.
Very good poem indeed!

thanks for your review...I like this poem. It is so true and I like the last line. I think many people are worried about the state of the world today so this contains a universal theme.

I like the title too.
"You Can." Indeed! It's so bold and it really captures the whole poem's meaning.
