Where Have We Gone (Prose Poem) by poetryman
WHERE HAVE WE GONE
where we strived for peace and harmony
cared about one another
instead of grabbing guns from the armory
shouldn't we love thy brother
where children no longer respect
parents, guardians that now neglect
education is at an all time low
attention disorders, I don't think so
religious people, they claim to be
believe different, then you'll see
murder and homelessness at an alarming rate
oh well, that's their fate
liberty for all, was the idea
poverty has many searching for a meal
leaders and politicians can't be trusted
the wheels of justice leave one disgusted
seniors dying from lack of healthcare
whatever happened to "I'll be there"
for you and I, life goes on
but tell me, where have we gone.
